street name

Where you live

Street name has two distinct meanings.

In drug culture, a street name is the informal name for a substance: Molly is the street name for MDMA.

Separately, a street name is a nickname used in place of one's legal name, especially in urban or hip-hop contexts: Everyone in the neighborhood knew him by his street name.
