Used to indicate something that is not the name=* for an object. Usually, it is used because some other external or official source suggests an incorrect name. not:name=* can then be used to make sure that when people intend to edit the name, they don't (repeatedly) make the same mistake.
See for example some use of it in OSM and OSL differences analysis.
A geocoder may also use this key to index certain misspellings and errors with relatively low search rank.
