Public ledgers are generally considered to be “pseudo-anonymous”, which means that an address is linked to one person, but that person is unknown to the public.

stealth address is a privacy-enhancing technology for protecting the privacy of receivers of cryptocurrencies. Stealth addresses require the sender to create random, one-time address for every transaction on behalf of the recipient so that different payments made to the same payee are unlinkable.
