SIBI-P1 H8034-29

my name

Rootשם (š-m)
Core Meaningsname, mark, memorial, reputation, renown, authority
Semantic Rangepersonal name, reputation, fame, honor, authority, character, memorial presence
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, a "name" represents more than a label; it embodies character, authority, and manifest presence. To act in or call upon YHWH’s name is to invoke His revealed identity and covenantal authority, and the preservation or profanation of one’s name concerns enduring honor and legacy.
Morphological NotesNoun, common masculine singular construct (שֵׁם) with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix (-י), yielding "my name."
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root שם, denoting a name as a mark of identity, reputation, or memorial presence. The form is masculine singular in construct with a first-person common singular suffix, therefore accurately rendered as "my name," preserving both the possessive sense and the personal identity inherent in the root.
