of the name
| Root | ὄνομα (onoma) |
| Core Meanings | name, designation, reputation, authority, identity |
| Semantic Range | personal name, title, reputation, fame, authority, character, the manifestation of one’s identity or power |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, "name" often represents the revealed character, authority, and active presence of a person—especially of God. Acting "in the name" signifies acting under delegated authority, and believing "in the name" points to trust in the revealed identity and power of Yeshua. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GNS,). The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, relationship, or association; neuter singular agrees with the lemma ὄνομα. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of ὄνομα as a name that signifies identity, reputation, or authority. The genitive neuter singular form (GNS) is reflected by the phrase "of the name," maintaining the possessive or relational force inherent in the Greek case ending. |
