I want to ask that if there is a cheese product "paneera" in the market. Then what should I say?

  1. Cheese is available under the name of paneera?

OR

  1. Cheese is available in the name of paneera?

OR

  1. Cheese is available available as paneera?

1 Answer 1

under the name of specifies that something uses the name of/belongs to a person, while in the name of indicates that something/someone is representing another thing/another person. available as doesn't get its own dictionary entry, and is used in a variety of situations, ranging from someone available to do something, an alternate name for something (usually preceded by also), to something available in another form.

None of the above can be used in your situation. Therefore, I'd suggest keeping it simple and use: Paneera cheese is available.

    I agree that in the name of means something different, but I see nothing wrong with using under the name of in this case.

  • @ColinFine I agree. Under the name of is always fine. (I always do go under my own name . . .) It doesn't mean that you are impersonating somebody—just that that's the name you're using, for whatever reason. Commented Sep 22, 2018 at 14:47
  • My point was that under the name of is in no way limited to a person.

  • It may not have been clear because of the formatting problems, but the question is about asking whether paneer is available, not explaining that paneer is available. The simplest way to ask is "Do you have any paneer cheese?"
