A fictional crossover (short: crossover) is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the context of a single story. You might need to reread that part. Here comes the or part. So yes, Spideman and Punisher fall under the category of crossover. It does not matter that they are of the same universe. Here is the concept. Punisher crossed over to Spiderman's story.

But here is the thing. A name cannot be used as a crossover. Why, because there are many names in manga for example that could be the same, but in different stories and that does not make them crossovers.

If it was true, then that would mean that D. Gray-Man and Toaru Majutsu no Index are crossovers. Both contain Aleister Crowley.
