For instance, is the name John also a word? And if not, than what about Karate. Karate is the name of a form of Martial Arts, so is it a word? Or are names considered words?

Being that they are not made up of letters and cannot be used within a coherent sentence, I'm going to go with no. I kid. Yes, yes they are.
