Proper nouns in English

Definition: The word ‘proper’ comes from the French word propre
meaning one’s own, i.e. belonging to a particular person or thing.
 
Proper nouns are the special names that we give to people,
places and particular things like the days of the week, months of
the year, or even the titles of books or TV shows.

For example:
Jason, Town Hall, China, French, The Wishing Chair
 
Because they are special and individual names, they start with a
capital letter and, apart from people, most of these things have
only one proper name.
