SOA primary name server understanding

The SOA in the forward zone file for a DNS server has the following kind of syntax:

@ IN SOA primary-name-server hostmaster-email (
serial-number
time-to-refresh

My query here is that does the primary name server need to be a hostname of any server.

Please revert with the reply to my query.

Regards

Thats need to be the one of your primary IP of your BIND server. not just any server.
