A namespace (sometimes also called a name scope) is an abstract container or environment created to hold a logical grouping of unique identifiers or symbols (i.e., names). An identifier defined in a namespace is associated only with that namespace. The same identifier can be independently defined in multiple namespaces. That is, the meaning associated with an identifier defined in one namespace may or may not have the same meaning as the same identifier defined in another namespace. Languages that support namespaces specify the rules that determine to which namespace an identifier (not its definition) belongs.
For example, Bill works for company X and his employee ID is 123. Jane works for company Y and her employee ID is also 123. The reason Bill and Jane can be identified by the same ID number is because they work for different companies. The different companies in this case would symbolize different namespaces. There would be serious confusion if the two people worked for the same company, and still had the same employee ID. For instance, a paycheck issued to employee ID 123 would not identify which person should receive the check.

Don't worry about that, you will never use it. Just choose a long name or even sentence that was not used before. You will never need that, all you have to do is pick a unique one to get you trough that registration process.
