descriptive names
Uses the most evident words or terms needed to describe a product, service or brand.  Descriptive names often use terms that are widely used in the industry, or call out a specific attribute about the product or service.  While descriptive names typically use real words, some can contain coined terms and acronyms that have become standard and are easily understood.  Often, descriptive terms are used to name products and services that sit beneath a hero brand–and can include features or a suite of products and services that in combination make up the offer.  Descriptive names are usually difficult to trademark because the terms are so widely used, and so while not legally protected, they also can’t easily be legally challenged.

Surname, Over and Above the name, Title of the name, Descriptive Name, Epithet, A Company name,  
================================================
person (n.)
early 13c., from Old French persone "human being, anyone, person" (12c., Modern French personne) and directly from Latin persona "human being, person, personage; a part in a drama, assumed character," originally "a mask, a false face," such as those of wood or clay worn by the actors in later Roman theater.  OED offers the general 19c. explanation of persona as "related to" Latin personare "to sound through" (i.e. the mask as something spoken through and perhaps amplifying the voice), "but the long o makes a difficulty ...." Klein and Barnhart say it is possibly borrowed from Etruscan phersu "mask." Klein goes on to say this is ultimately of Greek origin and compares Persephone.

In legal use, "corporate body or corporation having legal rights," 15c., short for person aggregate (c. 1400), person corporate (mid-15c.). The use of -person to replace -man in compounds and avoid alleged sexist connotations is recorded by 1971 (in chairperson). In person "by bodily presence" is from 1560s. Person-to-person first recorded 1919, originally of telephone calls.
================================================
tender (n.2)
"formal offer for acceptance," 1540s, from tender (v.). Specific sense of "money offered as payment" is from 1740, in legal tender "currency which by law must be accepted from a debtor"
