SIBI-P1 G3686-05

of the name

Rootὄνομα (onoma)
Core Meaningsname, designation, reputation, authority, identity
Semantic Rangepersonal name, title, reputation, fame, authority, character, the manifestation of one’s identity or power
Conceptual SignificanceIn 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 NotesNoun, genitive, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GNS,). The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, relationship, or association; neuter singular agrees with the lemma ὄνομα.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
