his name

Rootשם (sh-m)
Core Meaningsname, designation, reputation, renown, memorial, authority
Semantic Rangepersonal name, reputation, fame, renown, character, authority, memorial, established identity
Conceptual SignificanceIn the biblical text, a "name" represents more than a label; it embodies a person’s character, authority, and enduring reputation. The divine Name signifies YHWH’s revealed identity and covenantal presence, while a human "name" reflects honor, legacy, and remembered deeds.
Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in construct form (שֵׁם) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־וֹ), literally "name of him."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שֵׁם means "name" in the sense of designation, reputation, or renown. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix, yielding "his name," which preserves both the root sense of personal identity/reputation and the grammatical features of singular masculine possession.
