You can reference that name in an other cell.

For instance, give a cell a name of Tax_Rate, another a name of Price, and
in another cell add a formula of =Price*(1_Tax_Rate) gives the price
including tax, and as you can see, it is very understandable.

What's the purpose of defining a name in a cell? How is it used?
