> Can you also explain to me how can we create multiple tags with same name.

I think that what you are asking about are categories, not tags. It is possible to create multiple sub categories that have the same name. For example, if a business site had a category for each product that it develops, there could be a ‘feature’ subcategory inside of each product parent category.
