名 versus 名前: Why is this seemingly redundant Jukugo used?


For example I came across a Jukugo like this:

> 名 (name) + 前 (before) = 名前 (name)

What is the point in having this Jukugo when you apparently can just use `名`.
Can someone explain this to me?




According to the [語源由来辞典](http://gogen-allguide.com/na/namae.html) etymology
dictionary, the 前 part is believed to have been added as an honorary form,
mostly since the Meiji era.
