The Namespace, called the Type on the Edit Security dialog, is one of the categories on the left side of the Price Database and Security Database dialogs. GnuCash has a special one, CURRENCY, and provides several default ones named after US Stock exchanges. It's a free-text field so that you can create your own namespaces.

The change was made necessary by the discovery that some stock symbols collide with currency codes.
