Mejor respuesta: RAZON SOCIAL: Sociedades en las que importan las personas, a las sociedades con razon social, se les llama sociedades de personas.
Se utiliza cuando en el nombre de una sociedad, se escriben dos o mas nombres de los socios, despues "y cia" o y compañia, seguido de las iniciales del tipo de sociedad. EJEMPLO: sociedad en comandita simple
El nombre seria: Luis Jimenes, Alfonso Rocha y compañia. S en .C

DENOMINACION SOCIAL: Se utiliza cuando en la sociedad se le da importancia al capital que se aporta, por eso a las sociedades que tienen denominacion social, se le llama socieda de capital.
Las sociedades que llevan denominacion, no llevan el nombre de los socios, se le asigna el nombre que decida los socios, EJEMPLO: "La galleta, S.A"

a razón social es la denominación por la cual se conoce colectivamente a una empresa. Se trata de un nombre oficial y legal que aparece en la documentación que permitió constituir a la persona jurídica en cuestión.

Name

Explanation:
All three concepts, including "nombre", can be translated as a single word. "Razón social" does indeed mean company name, but there's no need to keep repeating "name" as Bill suggests.

In other words, "name" can refer to an individual or corporation.

1 hr confidence:

company or partnership name

Explanation:
“Razón social” and “denominación social” are commonly used as if they were interchangeable but, strictly speaking, they are not. Strictly speaking “razón social” is a “denominacion subjetiva,” i.e., a business name that (often by law) must include the name or names of the members of the entity. For that reason, “razón social” is often translated as “partnership name” because by law the name of a partnership, i.e., a “sociedad personalista” (in Spain and elsewhere) must include at least one of the partners’ names. As an example, the general partners (“socios colectivos”) in a general or limited partnership (“sociedad colectiva o comanditaria”) are Sres. Pérez, Martínez and García. The partnership name must include all of the partners’ names (“Pérez, Martínez y García, S.C. (or) S. Com.”) or, if only Sr. Pérez is a “name partner”, the partnership name must include the abbreviation “y Cía” (and Partner/Partners), i.e., “Pérez y Cía, S.C. (or) S. Com.”

In contrast, a “denominación social” is a “denominación objetiva” that may reflect a business entity’s economic activities or merely be a fantasy name. These names may be chosen freely by those entities that by law are not required to identify the entities’ members’ names in their business name (in Spain, principally “sociedades de responsabilidad limitada” and “sociedades anónimas”, among others).

Although I have given examples from Spain, here is an explanation from the perspective of Mexican business law:

http://todoconta.com/diferencia-entre-razon-social-y-denomin...

But, again, having said all of this, “razón social” and “denominación social” are used interchangeably so often, even by lawyers, that this distinction is often lost. I once heard (an older) Spanish professor of “Derecho mercantil” explain the differences I have outlined above, but he added that most (young) “licenciados” in Derecho don’t distinguish the two.

Designation or company name

Explanation:
Designation: an official name, description, or title.
So, one option could be "name, designation or trade name of the buyer"... or similar. See glossaries etc.

nombre, denominación o razón social general, trade or partnership name/corporate style

Explanation:
It's a good idea to prefix with nombre for the full string and include accents for any future search.

Social: could be a body corporate or partnership that, in the UK and US and unless an LLP, is not a body corporate.

...about the use of the word appellation, you can "google" the sentence "Mark Twain is the famous appellation by which everyone remembers author and humorist Samuel Clemens. for example or "The unique weather and climate of Antarctica provide the basis for its familiar appellations—Home of the Blizzard and White Desert." or "The custom of the Easter lamb appropriates both the appellation used for Jesus in Scripture (“behold the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world,” John 1:29) and the lamb’s role as a sacrificial animal in ancient Israel." between many others from the "Encyclopedia Britannica"

neilmac: I'd avoid "appellation" due to the wine connection. And I've already posted "designation", which IMO works better than "denomination"...

5 hrs

-> maybe you're right about "appellation", for those who are used to talk a lot about wines :), about "denomination" and "designation", I found they are used something like 50/50 on this context, I put it as another possibility for the asker to choose from.

neutral

AllegroTrans: "Appellation" is not used in English for a name

13 hrs

-> You are right, "Appellation" is not used in English for a name, it is used to specify a "secondary name"/nickname/alias/title used instead of a name, as defined in Merriam-webster, Collins & other Dictionaries & used in Encyclopedia Britannica for example
