Casual answer: A domain name is a name for a website; you can also use it for your email address. So if you own the domain name 'icecream.co.za' then you can have the email address yourname@icecream.co.za as well as your website located at http://www.icecream.co.za Cool eh?
Technical answer: A domain name is the text name corresponding to the numeric IP address of a computer on the Internet. A domain name must be unique. Internet users access your website using your domain name. Domain names are used as addresses for Web pages and for sending email.
