A name plate is a piece of paper or a little sign that tells you the name of something or someone. It is usually placed on or near the thing or person the name belongs to. For example, your Daddy might have a name plate on his desk at work that says his name and job title, so everyone knows who he is and what he does. Or you might have a name plate on your bedroom door that says your name, so everyone knows which room is yours. Name plates come in all different shapes and sizes, but they all serve the same purpose of letting people know a name!
