The name of **NCl₃** is **Nitrogen trichloride**.

### Explanation:
- **NCl₃** is a covalent compound consisting of one nitrogen (N) atom and three chlorine (Cl) atoms.
- In covalent compounds, the first element (nitrogen) retains its name, while the second element (chlorine) uses a modified name ending in "-ide," resulting in "chloride."
- The prefix **"tri-"** indicates the presence of three chlorine atoms attached to nitrogen.

Thus, the compound **NCl₃** is named **Nitrogen trichloride**.
