能の名ノリでは、演者が自分の役柄を観客に伝える。
In the Noh self-introduction, the performer conveys their role to the audience.
名乗り is the standard word for self-introduction in general contexts, while 名ノリ is a specialized Noh term for a character's self-introduction within a play.
From 名 (na, 'name') + ノリ (nori, from 宣る noru, 'to declare'). The spelling 名ノリ is conventional for this Noh usage.
