# name

The name of the entity.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency var name: String { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion You can find an entity by name in a scene by calling the scene’s findEntity(named:) method. Or you can recursively search among the children of a given entity by calling the entity’s findEntity(named:) method. Entity names are not guaranteed to be unique. When you search by name, these methods return the first entity encountered with the given name.
