+CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME
+------------------
+
+The name of the top level project.
+
+This variable holds the name of the project as specified in the top
+level CMakeLists.txt file by a :command:`project` command. In the event that
+the top level CMakeLists.txt contains multiple :command:`project` calls,
+the most recently called one from that top level CMakeLists.txt will determine
+the name that ``CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME`` contains. For example, consider
+the following top level CMakeLists.txt:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
+ project(First)
+ project(Second)
+ add_subdirectory(sub)
+ project(Third)
+
+And ``sub/CMakeLists.txt`` with the following contents:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ project(SubProj)
+ message("CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME = ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}")
+
+The most recently seen :command:`project` command from the top level
+CMakeLists.txt would be ``project(Second)``, so this will print::
+
+ CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME = Second
+
+To obtain the name from the most recent call to :command:`project` in
+the current directory scope or above, see the :variable:`PROJECT_NAME`
+variable.
