I came across the term FQDN. It is also called as the absolute domain name.
Given a device with a local hostname 'myhost' and a parent domain name 'example.com', the fully qualified domain name is written like this:
myhost.example.com
The FQDN therefore uniquely identifies the device, while there may be many hosts in the world called myhost, there can only be one myhost.example.com.
