Matrix Help

[isdouble]

I need to create a matrix where it contains part name, quantity, failure
rate.
However, Octave does not accept any names so I'm having trouble creating
such matrix.
I believe in order to create a matrix you would input
M = [1, 2, 3;3, 2, 1]
But in my case I would input
M = [Part Name, 1, 0.0000108;...]
But the program does not recognize what "part name" is so I keep getting an
error.
Is there any way to create a matrix table with non numbers?
Thank you
