Introduction
The word "noun" comes from the Latin nomen meaning "name." Word classes like nouns were first described by Sanskrit grammarian Panini and ancient Greek like Dionysios Thrax, and defined in terms of their morphological properties. For example, in Ancient Greek, nouns can be inflected for grammatical case, such as dative or accusative. Verbs, on the other hand, can be inflected for tenses, such as past, present or future, while nouns cannot.
Language is a social phenomenon and every language has its own grammar. For many centuries such famous scholars as B. Illyish, M. Y. Blokh, O. Jesperson and many others had investigated the problem of parts of speech, that causes great controversies both in general linguistic theory and in the analysis of separate languages. And the main question that had interested them was noun as a part of speech. A noun is a word that describes a name of a person, place, animal, or thing. This is the noun definition. People, places, and things are described by nouns. A word reflects everything that we can see or talk about. That word is known as a “noun.” You may think of a noun as a “naming word” if that assists. A noun is typically the name of something that we can touch (Noun example, “animal,” “pizza pie,” or “computer”), but can also be the name of something we can’t touch (Noun Example “strong,” “mile,” “happiness”).

Other terms than part of speech—particularly in modern linguistic
classifications, which often make more precise distinctions than the
traditional scheme does—include word class, lexical class, and lexical
category. Some authors restrict the term lexical category to refer only to a
