to the name
| Morphological Notes | Noun; dative singular; neuter; from ὄνομα (root ὀνομ-). |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular form ὀνόματι is rendered "to the name," preserving the core sense of an identifying designation while reflecting the dative case as indirect, locative, or instrumental relation without importing contextual nuance. |
