## Definition

* **Type:** Property

### Remarks

When a GameObject is duplicated or instantiated, Unity copies the original GameObject's name and appends it with successive numbers. Unity supports several naming schemes, with the default being [EditorSettings.NamingScheme.SpaceParenthesis](/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityeditor/editorsettings/namingscheme/spaceparenthesis.md).

For example, when a GameObject named "Prefab" its duplicated or instantiated, Unity names it "Prefab (1)", and then "Prefab (2)" if it is duplicated or instantiated again.
