nombre propio

English translation: beggars whose name we know - beggars we know

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Spanish term or phrase: nombre propio
I know this normally means 'own name', but the context is a bit strange, i.e: 'puede que cerca de nosotros haya mendigos con nombre propio' The piece is talking about poverty being everywhere.
