Give public IP an alias name

Question

Hi everyone, 
 I wonder if this is possible. 
 I did a NAT rule so users outside the network can access a particular application that is behind the Firewall(Sophos XG) 
 So, currently, the access is this way: public IP/ApplicationName 
 I would like to hide the public IP and give it an alias like: Here/applicationName 
 Can this be done on Sophos xg? 
 
 Kind regards, 
 
 Nali

Hi Jonathan, 
 I wonder, if you ever heard of DNS? 
 If you an internal DNS server, configure an A-record to point to this IP. 
 If using an external DNS, go to the Admin-Panel of your provider and define this name there.
