addressee
Name on envelope
An addressee is the person to whom something is directed—a letter, package, email, or formal communication.
The term appears most often in postal and legal contexts: The addressee no longer lives at this address.
It parallels sender and recipient but emphasizes that the item bears the person's name and address.
