<div>If there is only a single old name and it is
different from the current name, we have the established
tag old_name=* as explained here: <a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:old_name"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:old_name</a></div>
<div>This wiki page also suggests other formats like
old_name:1921-1932=* if the name is valid in a
particular period.</div>

<p>IMO it's fine to use old_name=* even without name=* -- to record
the fact that it used to be known as the Johnson House, but
there's no current name in common use. J<br>
