The idea that a definition should state the essence of a thing led to the distinction between nominal and real essence—a distinction originating with Aristotle. In the Posterior Analytics, he says that the meaning of a made-up name can be known without knowing what he calls the “essential nature” of the thing that the name would denote . This led medieval logicians to distinguish between what they called the quid nominis, or the “whatness of the name”, and the underlying nature common to all the things it names, which they called the quid rei, or the “whatness of the thing”. The name “hobbit”, for example, is perfectly meaningful. It has a quid nominis, but one could not know the real nature of hobbits, and so the quid rei of hobbits cannot be known. By contrast, the name “man” denotes real things that have a certain quid rei. The meaning of a name is distinct from the nature that a thing must have in order that the name apply to it.
