Renaming Worksheet: Error message: "Reserved Name"

[thank you!]

Hi,

I'm working on a history test currently and wanted to name one of my sheets
in excel "History", and I got an error message: "History is a reserved name."
I'm just curious, what does that mean, and why is that?

(Also, I don't know why my display name is "thank you!", but it is...)
