Anomia is a condition associated with language that is characterized by the inability to remember words or name things or objects. It is often a symptom of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease or a stroke. There are several synonyms for anomia, including word-finding difficulty, lexical access problem, and nominal aphasia. Word-finding difficulty refers to the difficulty an individual experiences in finding the right words to express their thoughts or ideas.

Nominal aphasia refers to the complete loss of the ability to name or recognize objects or words.
