house name

Dwelling's given designation

A house name is the name given to an individual residence, especially in British usage where houses may have names instead of or alongside street numbers: Their cottage was called "Willowbrook".

House name also refers to a brand or imprint under which a company publishes or manufactures: The book appeared under one of the publisher's house names.

In publishing, a house name may be a pseudonym shared by multiple authors writing for the same series.
