"Name" in Dovahzul

I've recently gotten back into studying Dovahzul and today I was looking for a translation for "name" but couldn't find one. I searched for translations for its synonyms but couldn't find any. Is there really no translation for "name"? If not, is there some sort of substitute?

Look up the definition of "du'ul" in the dictionary. I think that is a good substitute for name in that case.

"Ok du'ul pruzaan."

Or, if you want to identify someone, use "Rek (los) Mjoll faal Am Vahdin" "Her name (She is) Mjoll the Lioness (lion maiden)"

Alternatively, name could be "power" so "naal suleyk do Atmorasewuth" would be "in the name of (by the power of) Atmora of Old".

That was very helpful.
