Maximum length of a table name in MySQL

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/identifiers.html

The following table describes the maximum length for each type of identifier.

Identifier	Maximum Length (characters)
Database	64 (`NDB` storage engine: 63)
Table	64 (`NDB` storage engine: 63)
Column	64
Index	64
Constraint	64
Stored Program	64
View	64
Tablespace	64
Server	64
Log File Group	64
Alias	256 (see exception following table)
Compound Statement Label	16
User-Defined Variable	64 as of MySQL 5.7.5, no limit before that

Aliases for column names in CREATE VIEW statements are checked against the maximum column length of 64 characters (not the maximum alias length of 256 characters).

Identifiers are stored using Unicode (UTF-8). This applies to identifiers in table definitions that are stored in .frm files and to identifiers stored in the grant tables in the mysql database. The sizes of the identifier string columns in the grant tables are measured in characters. You can use multibyte characters without reducing the number of characters permitted for values stored in these columns. As indicated earlier, the permissible Unicode characters are those in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). Supplementary characters are not permitted.

MySQL Cluster imposes a maximum length of 63 characters for names of databases and tables. See Section 19.1.6.5, “Limits Associated with Database Objects in MySQL Cluster”.
