Runed Halo gives you protection from each object with the chosen name, whether it’s a card, a token, or a copy of a spell. It doesn’t matter what game zone that object is in.

Runed Halo doesn’t give your permanents protection from the chosen name, only you.

You can still be attacked by creatures with the chosen name, even though they won’t deal combat damage to you.

You’ll have protection from the name, not from the word. For example, if you choose the name Shapeshifter, you’ll have protection from anything named “Shapeshifter,” but you won’t have protection from other creatures with the creature type “Shapeshifter.”

You must choose the name of a card, not the name of a token. For example, you can’t choose “Saproling” or “Marit Lage.” However, if a token happens to have the same name as a card (such as “Shapeshifter” or “Spark Elemental”), you can choose it.

If a player has protection from a chosen name, it means three things: Damage that would be dealt to that player by a source with that name is prevented; Auras with that name can't be attached to that player; and that player can't be the target of spells with that name or abilities from sources with that name.

Runed Halo can’t protect you from tokens unless those tokens have the same name as the card name you choose.

Some cards can have alternative names, such as split cards, adventurer cards, double-faced cards, and so on. You may choose one of the two names the card can have; Runed Halo won’t protect you from the other name.
