See "Partition name (36 UTF-16LE code units)" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_entries This describes the GPT partition table which is the newer of the two usual partition table formats. Lots of partitions are possible on a disk. The older format is MBR with 4 primary partitions and 4 logical ones in one of the primary partitions. Also known as "MSDOS" partition table. No partition names there. Have a nice day :) Thomas
