# name

A string containing the name of this service.

## Declaration

```swift
var name: String { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This value is set when the object is first initialized, whether by your code or by a browser object. See init(domain:type:name:) for more information. note: This became a property in OS X v10.9 and iOS 7, but the underlying getter method (name) has been available since this class was first introduced.
