column header

Spreadsheet category name

A column header is the label at the top of a column in a table, spreadsheet, or database that identifies what data appears below it.

In a spreadsheet, column headers might be Name, Date, Amount.

The header distinguishes the label row from the data rows and often enables sorting or filtering by that field.
