| Root | שם (š-m) |
| Core Meanings | name, mark, memorial, reputation, authority, renown |
| Semantic Range | personal name, reputation, fame, renown, authority, character, memorial, public standing, invoked power |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, a "name" embodies one’s character, authority, and manifested presence. Acting "in the name of" someone signifies operating under their authority and representing their revealed character. The Name of YHWH in particular conveys covenantal presence, power, and holiness. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular noun in the construct state (Ncmsc). The construct form links the noun to a following genitive ("of X"), indicating possession, association, or authority. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שֵׁם (masculine singular construct) denotes a "name" in the sense of reputation, authority, or memorial identity. In construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ ("in"), it forms the fixed relational phrase "in the name of," preserving both the core idea of authoritative identity and the grammatical singular construct form requiring a following complement. |
