A Noun of Address is a proper noun that addresses who you are speaking to. It can be removed from a sentence without changing the meaning of the sentence, and is marked in the sentence by commas.

A noun of direct address can start a sentence, appear in the middle or the end of the sentence:

Nancy, you have a meeting at ten.

You have a meeting, Nancy, at ten.

You have a meeting at ten, Nancy.
