No one knows when names were first used. They were obviously created in early prehistory. They were needed so that people could be sure they were talking about the same person or place. The name identifies a specific person or location, rather than needing to talk about "that boy over there" or "the valley we camped in last summer."

Well, names are a pretty complicated thing to discuss. Nobody knws EXACTLY how they began, but people use names to represent something. The different words come from different roots from different languages that mean a specific thing. For Example: The name "Juliet" is Latin-derived and it means Youthful.
