Answer:Hence, the name of the NaOH is Sodium hydroxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

In strong base NaOH is made up of three element sodium , oxygen and hydrogen.

NaOH dissociates is into cation and anion in its aqueous solution:

$NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^++OH^-$

While naming the ternary compound:

First write the name of cation present, here the cation is of sodium that
.
followed by space then write name of the anion , here anion present in a polyatomic anion that
, the name of this polyatomic anion is hydroxide.

Hence, the name of the NaOH is Sodium hydroxide.
