| Root | ὄνομα (onoma) |
| Core Meanings | name, designation, reputation, authority, character |
| Semantic Range | personal name, title, reputation, authority, renown, character, memorial, invoked identity |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ὄνομα often signifies more than a label; it represents the character, authority, and revealed identity of a person—especially of God. To act "in the name" is to act under authority, and a "name" written or remembered conveys covenantal belonging and enduring identity. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, nominative plural or accusative plural (Gr,N,,,,,NNP/ANP). The neuter plural form ὀνόματα functions either as subject or direct object depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "name-designations" preserves the core idea of ὄνομα as that by which a person or thing is identified, characterized, or invested with reputation or authority. The form is neuter plural (nominative or accusative), reflected in the English plural construction without added gender marking, consistent with the Greek morphology. |
