# kMIDIPropertyName

A name for a device, entity, or endpoint.

## Declaration

```swift
let kMIDIPropertyName: CFString
```

## Discussion

Discussion Devices, entities, and endpoints may all have names. The standard way to display an endpoint’s name is to ask it for its name and display it only if unique. If not, prepend the device name. A studio setup editor may allow the user to set the names of both driver-owned and external devices.
