Name

is used (I) in general of the "name" by which a person or thing is called, e.g., Mark 3:16,17 , "(He) surnamed," lit., "(He added) the name;" Mark 14:32 , lit., "(of which) the name (was);" Luke 1:63; John 18:10; sometimes translated "named," e.g., Luke 1:5 , "named (Zacharias)," lit., "by name;" in the same verse, "named (Elizabeth)," lit., "the name of her," an elliptical phrase, with "was" understood; Acts 8:9 , RV, "by name," Acts 10:1; the "name" is put for the reality in Revelation 3:1; in Philippians 2:9 , the "Name" represents "the title and dignity" of the Lord, as in Ephesians 1:21; Hebrews 1:4;

denotes (a) "to name," "mention," or "address by name," Acts 19:13 , RV, "to name" (AV, "to call"); in the Passive Voice, Romans 15:20; Ephesians 1:21; 5:3; to make mention of the "Name" of the Lord in praise and worship, 2—Timothy 2:19; (b) "to name, call, give a name to," Luke 6:13,14; Passive Voice, 1—Corinthians 5:11 , RV, "is named" (AV, "is called"); Ephesians 3:15 (some mss. have the verb in this sense in Mark 3:14; 1—Corinthians 5:1 ). See CALL , Note (1).

"to call by a name, surname" (epi, "on," and No. 1), is used in Romans 2:17 , Passive Voice, RV, "bearest the name of" (AV, "art called"). See CALL , Note (1).

primarily denotes "to address, greet, salute;" hence, "to call by name," Hebrews 5:10 , RV, "named (of God a High Priest)" (AV, "called"), expressing the formal ascription of the title to Him whose it is; "called" does not adequately express the significance. Some suggest the meaning "addressed," but this is doubtful. The reference is to Psalm 110:4 , a prophecy confirmed at the Ascension. In the Sept., Deuteronomy 23:6 .

"to call," is translated "named" in Acts 7:58 , RV (AV, "whose name was"). See CALL , No. 1 (b).
