It is a human-readable name (alias or identifier) that you can set by editing your Nostr profile. This makes it simpler for other people to remember your alias (instead of your public key), and simpler to mention you in their posts by typing @name@nostr.band instead of @npub1xxx. Besides, many apps add some kind of "verified" check mark like , which makes your profile look more trustworthy.
