Associations v4 schema endpoints confusion | How to retrieve name?

Sending a POST request to/crm/v4/associations/{fromObjectType}/{toObjectType}/labels with “label” and “name” in the POST data creates a label to use for associations. What is “name” in this scenario, and how does it differ from “label”?

Sending a GET request to https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v4/objects/contacts?associations=companies returns associations between contacts and companies. The associations/results array includes “id” and “type”. Id is the association ID and type seems to be either a standard HubSpot association type or the label “name”. Is this correct?

  "associations": {

    "companies": {

      "results": \[

        {

          "id": "6277896643",

          "type": "contact\_to\_company"

        },

        {

          "id": "6266951100",

          "type": "contact\_to\_company\_unlabeled"

        },

        {

          "id": "6277896643",

          "type": "contact\_to\_company\_unlabeled"

        }

      ]

----
Lastly, why does sending a GET request to
/crm/v4/associations/{fromObjectType}/{toObjectType}/labels
not return the created label name?
----

“results”: [

{

"category": "HUBSPOT\_DEFINED",

"typeId": 0,

"label": "string"

}

]

-----
Is the label “name” only used when creating a label and when sending a request to https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v4/objects/{fromObjectType}?associations={objectTypes}
Are clients supposed to give labels a “meaningful name”? Most importantly what is the difference between it and “label”?
