 class CRIPTDuplicateNameError(CRIPTAPISaveError):
+    """
+    Exception raised when attempting to save a node with a name that already exists in CRIPT.
+
+    This exception class extends `CRIPTAPISaveError` and is used to handle errors
+    that occur when a node's name duplicates an existing node's name in the CRIPT database.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    api_response : dict
+        The response returned from the API that contains the error details.
+    json_data : str
+        The JSON data of the node that caused the duplication error.
+    parent_cript_save_error : CRIPTAPISaveError
+        The original `CRIPTAPISaveError` instance containing additional context of the error.
+
+    ## Troubleshooting
+    #### Duplicate Name Errors
+    Make sure that the name you are using to save a node is unique and does not already exist in the database.
+    If you encounter a `CRIPTDuplicateNameError`, check the name of your node and try a different name.
