Your title does not match what you are asking in your question. "something" could be anything... — user3169, Commented Apr 9, 2016 at 5:04
@user3169 please feel free to edit the title if some mistakes are there, as I am not an English origin person :) — Praveen George, Commented Apr 9, 2016 at 5:06
Generally, you won't find 'a name' unless you are talking about more than one name. For instance, Neelkanth is a name of Shiv'. Rest in almost all cases, you'll find the name. — Maulik V, Commented Apr 9, 2016 at 5:33

The name of the school is xyz
