Well, do you mean labelling or adding text?
To add text, i.e. to place text on a photo so that it is visible as part of the photo, you need an external editor, and Preview (free and already installed with OS X) will do that for you.
To add a label, such as a title, a description, a keyword… you can do this very easily to one or a whole batch of photos in Photos. Just select the photo(s) you wish to edit and, in the Info window, enter the required information (if the Info window isn't showing, use menu Window>Info or Cmd-i, or right-click Get Info, or…).
I agree that Photos is a badly-chosen name.
