term / designation
'die Bezeichnung' and 'die Namensgebung' both belong to the topic of names. 'Bezeichnung' means the name or expression itself, that is, the word used to call something. 'Namensgebung', on the other hand, means the process in which someone chooses or gives a name. They can be confused because both have to do with naming. A practical tip: the 'Bezeichnung' is the result; the 'Namensgebung' is the process.
