Morphological NotesGr,N,,,,,DNS — noun, dative case, neuter gender, singular number; from lemma ὄνομα. The dative often expresses means ("by"), sphere ("in"), or basis ("on the basis of").
Rendering RationaleThe noun ὄνομα fundamentally denotes a name as expressive of identity, character, or authority. The form ὀνόματι is dative singular neuter, which commonly conveys sphere, means, or basis; rendering it "in the name" preserves both the core concept of embodied identity/authority and the dative sense of operating within or by that name.
