Contact the Tennessee Secretary of State (if you are incorporating in Tennessee) or hire an attorney to search it for you.
The answer to your question will depend on where you incorporate. For instance, in the state where I live, we have secured the name of our business. But, I have found that there are other businesses in other states with the same name. What does it mean? If they come here, they will not get the name. If I go there, I will have to change my name.

First responder is correct; the Secretary of State is the ultimate source. But try a Google search first; it's quick and easy.
