Nonono, types in Ada are always anonymous. What you name in a *type declaration* is the *first subtype*.

type My_Int is range 1 .. 10;

The anonymous type of this type declaration comprises the complete set of mathematical integers (only restricted by storage). Named numbers make use of this fact:

Big: constant := My_Int'Base'Last + 10**100;

Here, the "+" operator is that of My_Int'Base.
