by their names

Morphological NotesPreposition ב + masculine plural construct noun שְׁמוֹת + 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their").
Rendering RationaleThe noun שֵׁם denotes an established designation or identity-marker. The plural construct with 3rd person masculine plural suffix yields "their names," and the prefixed ב conveys association or instrumentality, hence "by their names."
