Gforth Manual

5.9.7 Supplying the name of a defined word

By default, a defining word takes the name for the defined word from the input stream. Sometimes you want to supply the name from a string. You can do this with:

doc-nextname

For example:

s" foo" nextname create

is equivalent to:

create foo

nextname works with any defining word.
