Ap*pel"la*tive, n. [L. appelativum, sc. nomen.] 1. A common name, in distinction from a proper name. A common name, or appellative, stands for a whole class, genus, or species of beings, or for universal ideas. Thus, tree is the name of all plants of a particular class; plant and vegetable are names of things that grow out of the earth. A proper name, on the other hand, stands for a single thing; as, Rome, Washington, Lake Erie.
[1913 Webster]
2. An appellation or title; a descriptive name.
[1913 Webster]
God chosen it for one of his appellatives to be the Defender of them.
Jer. Taylor.
[1913 Webster]
