Summary/Abstract: The issue of the name arouses interest both from a historical point of view and from the point of view of the origin of the different onomatological systems since analyzing evolutionarily, this institution has benefited from a wider legal framework with the development of society. The name is not only a purely individual attribute but also a family right. Moreover, a way of accessing privacy by violating the right to a name can also be noticed in areas such as literary-artistic or audiovisual programs. Furthermore, the professional use of the name in the exercise of the professional activity gives it another value. The right to a name shall be protected in the light of the provisions of intellectual property law from the point of view of copyright, trademark and domain name. Summarizing the issues related to the dissemination of the name, in a few lines is a major challenge because the names must be examined under differentangles in the process of their use by the media/ society/persons. The aim of this article is to emphasys the complexity of the name matter, in a society where the name is omnipresent and where the evolution of technology is constantly generating new debates in this field. It is therefore essential to monitor the evolution of these techniques and how the law, jurisprudence, try to combine all the interests in providing the right protection through the provisions that reffer to fundamental human rights and individual freedoms.
