Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the problem of reference of proper names on the example of name Aristotle. I analyze the controversy between the theory of descriptions and the theory of direct reference and note that the theory of descriptions faces some difficulties, while the historical explanation theory (as a variant of the theory of direct reference) proposed by K. Donnellan successfully solves the problem.
