Nameless

Look up nameless in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Nameless usually refers to someone or something that doesn't have a name. It could be related to banishment, making someone nameless being destroying their presence and all mentions of them.

In Ancient Egypt, the name (the Ren) was believed to be one of five components of the soul and Ancient Egyptian's placed great value in placing their name everywhere, (a form of immortalization) they believed that as the name was spoken it lived, therefore Ancient Egyptians feared becoming nameless. (ie. without name, without a piece of their soul)
