To add the name of an input element, we use the HTML <input> name attribute. The HTML <input> name attribute is used to specify a name for an <input> element. It is used to reference the form data after submitting the form or to reference the element in JavaScript.

Syntax:

<input name="name">

Attribute Values:

It contains a single value name that describes the name of the <input> element.

Example 1: In this example, define an input element within a form, setting its name attribute to specify its identifier. Surround the input field with a <label> tag, using the for attribute to associate it with the input’s id, aiding accessibility and user experience.

HTML 
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en">  <head> 	<title> 		How to specify the name of an 		input element using HTML? 	</title> </head>  <body style="text-align: center;">  	<h3> 		How to specify the name of an 		input element using HTML 	</h3>  	<form id="myGeeks"> 		<label for="GFG">Username</label> 		<input type="text" id="GFG" name="GFG"> 		<br><br>  		<label for="GFG1">Password</label> 		<input type="password" id="GFG1" name="GFG1"> 		<br><br>  		<input type="submit" name="submit"> 	</form> </body>  </html>

Output:

namef

Output

Example 2: The HTML code creates a webpage titled “HTML Input name Attribute” with a centered layout. It includes a form with an input field named “geeks” and a pattern attribute enforcing a specific input format.

HTML 
<!DOCTYPE html>  <html>   <head>      <title>          HTML Input name Attribute      </title>  </head>   <body style="text-align:center;">       <h1>GeeksForGeeks</h1>       <h2>HTML Input name Attribute</h2>      <form id="myGeeks">          <input type="text"             id="text_id"             name="geeks"             pattern="[A-Za-z]{3}"             value="Manas Chhabra">      </form>      <br>  </body>   </html>

Output:
