ὄνομα, ὀνόματος, τό (ΝΟΜ (others ΓΝΟ; see Vanicek, p. 1239), cf. Latinnomen (English name), with the prefixed omicron ὀ (but see Curtius, § 446)), the Sept. for ωΕΡν (from Homer down), the name by which a person or a thing is called, and distinguished from others; 1. universally: of proper names, Mar_3:16; Mar_6:14; Act_13:8, etc.; τῶν ἀποστόλων τά ὀνόματα, Mat_10:2; Rev_21:14; ἄνθρωπος or ἀνήρ ᾧ ὄνομα, πόλις ἡ ὄνομα, namely, ἦν, named, followed by the name in the nominative (cf. Buttmann, § 129, 20, 3): Luk_1:26; Luk_2:25; Luk_8:41; Luk_24:13; Luk_24:18; Act_13:6 (Xenophon, mem. 3, 11, 1); οὗ (L ᾧ) τό ὄνομα, Mar_14:32; καί τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, αὐτῆς, etc., Luk_1:5; Luk_1:27; ὄνομα αὐτῷ namely, ἦν or ἐστιν (Buttmann, as above), Joh_1:6; Joh_3:1; Joh_18:10; Rev_6:8; ὀνόματι, followed by the name (cf. Buttmann, § 129 a. 3; Winer's Grammar, 182 (171)), Mat_27:32; Mar_5:22; Luk_1:5; Luk_10:38; Luk_16:20; Luk_23:50; Act_5:1; Act_5:34; Act_8:9; Act_9:10-12; Act_9:33; Act_9:36; Act_10:1; Act_11:28; Act_12:13; Act_16:1; Act_16:14; Act_17:34; Act_18:2; Act_18:7; Act_18:24; Act_19:24; Act_20:9; Act_21:10; Act_27:1; Act_28:7; Rev_9:11 (Xenophon, anab. 1, 4, 11); τοὔνομα (i. e. τό ὄνομα), the accusative absolute (Buttmann, § 131, 12; cf. Winer's Grammar, 230 (216)), i. e. by name, Mat_27:57; ὄνομα μοι namely, ἐστιν, my name is, Mar_5:9; Luk_8:30 (οὔτις ἐμοιγ ὄνομα, Homer, Odyssey 9, 366); ἔχειν ὄνομα, followed by the name in the nominative, Rev_9:11; καλεῖν τό ὄνομα τίνος, followed by the accusative of the name, see καλέω, 2 a.; καλεῖν τινα ὀνόματι τίνι, Luk_1:61; ὀνόματι καλούμενος, Luk_19:2; καλεῖν τινα ἐπί τῷ ὀνόματι, Luk_1:59 (see ἐπί, B. 2 a. εε., p. 233b); κατ' ὄνομα (see κατά, II. 3 a. γ., p. 328a); τά ὀνόματα ὑμῶν ἐγράφη (ἐγγέγραπται T WH Tr) ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, your names have been enrolled by God in the register of the citizens of the kingdom of heaven, Luk_10:20; τό ὄνομα τίνος (ἐγράφη) ἐν βίβλῳ (τῷ βιβλίῳ) ζωῆς, Php_4:3; Rev_13:8; ἐπί τό βιβλίον τῆς ζῇς Rev_17:8; ἐκβάλλειν (which see 1 h.) τό ὄνομα τίνος ὡς πονηρόν, since the wickedness of the man is called to mind by his name, Luk_6:22; ἐπικαλεῖσθαι τό ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου, see ἐπικαλέω, 5; ἐπικέκληται τό ὄνομα τίνος ἐπί τινα, see ἐπικαλέω, 2; ὀνόματα (ὄνομα) βλασφημίας equivalent to βλάσφημα (βλασπηημον) (cf. Winers Grammar, § 34, 3 b.; Buttmann, § 132, 10), names by which God is blasphemed, his majesty assailed, Rev_13:1; Rev_17:3 (R G Tr, see γέμω). so used that the name is opposed to the reality: ὄνομα ἔχεις, ὅτι ζῇς, καί νεκρός εἰ, thou art said (A. V. hast a name) to live, Rev_3:1 (ὄνομα εἶχεν, ὡς ἐπ' Ἀθηνας ἐλαυνει, Herodotus 7, 138). equivalent to title: περί ὀνομάτων, about titles (as of the Messiah), Act_18:15; κληρονομεῖν ὄνομα, Heb_1:4; χαρίζεσθαί τίνι ὄνομα τί, Php_2:9 (here the title ὁ κύριος is meant (but critical texts read τό ὄνομα etc., which many take either strictly or absolutely; cf. Meyer and Lightfoot at the passage (see below just before 3))); specifically, a title of honor and authority, Eph_1:21 (but see Meyer); ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ, in devout recognition of the title conferred on him by God (i. e. the title ὁ κύριος), Php_2:10 (but the interpretation of ὄνομα here follows that of ὄνομα in Php_2:9 above; see Meyer and Lightfoot, and cf. Winer's Grammar, 390 (365)). 2. By a usage chiefly Hebraistic the name is used for everything which the name covers, everything the thought or feeling of which is roused in the mind by mentioning, hearing, remembering, the name, i. e. for one's rank, authority, interests, pleasure, command, excellences, deeds, etc.; thus, εἰς ὄνομα προφήτου, out of regard for (see εἰς, B. II. 2 d.) the name of prophet which he bears, equivalent to because he is a prophet, Mat_10:41; βαπτίζειν τινα εἰς ὄνομα τίνος, by baptism to bind anyone to recognize and publicly acknowledge the dignity and authority of one (cf. βαπτίζω, II. b. (aa.)), Mat_28:19; Act_8:16; Act_19:5; 1Co_1:13; 1Co_1:15. to do a thing ἐν ὀνόματι τίνος, i. e. by one's command and authority, acting on his behalf, promoting his cause (cf. Winers Grammar, 390 (365); Buttmann, § 147, 10); as, ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου (from Psalm 117:26 ()), of the Messiah, Mat_21:9; Mat_23:39; Mar_11:9; Luk_13:35; Luk_19:38; Joh_12:13; ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός μου, Joh_5:43; Joh_10:25; ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ, of his own free-will and authority, Joh_5:43; to do a thing ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι of Jesus, Act_10:48; 1Co_5:4; 2Th_3:6; and L T Tr WH in Jas_5:10 (but surely κυρίου here denotes God; cf. 2 f. below). According to a very frequent usage in the O. T. (cf. ιΐδεΘδ ωΕΡν), the name of God in the N. T. is used for all those qualities which to his worshippers are summed up in that name, and by which God makes himself known to men; it is therefore equivalent to his divinity, Latinnumen (not his nature or essence as it is in itself), the divine majesty and perfections, so far forth as these are apprehended, named, magnified (cf. Winer, Lex. Hebrew et Chald., p. 993; Oehler in Herzog x., p. 196ff; Wittichen in Schenkel iv., p. 282ff); so in the phrases ἅγιον τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ namely, ἐστιν, Luk_1:49; ἁγιάζειν τό ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ, Mat_6:9; Luk_11:2; ὁμολογεῖν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ, Heb_13:15; ψάλλειν, Rom_15:9; δοξάζειν, Joh_12:28; (Rev_15:4); φανερουν, γνωρίζειν, Joh_17:6; Joh_17:26; φοβεῖσθαι τό ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ, Rev_11:18; Rev_15:4 (G L T Tr WH); διαγγέλλειν, Rom_9:17; ἀπαγγέλλειν, Heb_2:12; βλασφημεῖν, Rom_2:24; 1Ti_6:1; Rev_13:6; Rev_16:9; ἀγάπην ἐνδείκνυσθαι εἰς τό ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ, Heb_6:10; τήρησον αὐτούς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι σου, ᾧ (by attraction for ὁ (cf. Buttmann, § 143, 8, p. 286; Winers Grammar, § 24, 1; Rec. incorrectly οὕς)) δέδωκάς μοι, keep them consecrated and united to thy name (character), which thou didst commit to me to declare and manifest (cf. verse 6), Joh_17:11; (cf. ὑπέρ τοῦ ἁγίου ὀνόματος σου, οὗ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν, 'Teaching etc., chapter 10, 2 [ET]). After the analogy of the preceding expression, the name of Christ (Ἰησοῦ, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν, etc.) is used in the N. T. of all those things which, in hearing or recalling that name, we are bidden to recognize in Jesus and to profess; accordingly, of "his Messianic dignity, divine authority, memorable sufferings, in a word the peculiar services and blessings conferred by him on men," so far forth as these are believed, confessed, commemorated (cf. Westcott on the Epistles of John, p. 232): hence, the phrases εὐαγγελίζεσθαι τά περί τοῦ ὀνοματου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, Act_8:12; μεγαλύνειν τό ὄνομα Act_19:17; τῷ ὀνόματι (Rec. ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι) αὐτοῦ ἐλπίζειν, Mat_12:21 (Buttmann, 156 (153)); πιστεύειν, 1Jn_3:23; πιστεύουσιν εἰς τό ὄνομα, Joh_1:12; Joh_2:23; Joh_3:18; 1Jn_5:13 a (Rec., 13b); πίστις τοῦ ὄνομα, Act_3:16; ὁ ὀνομάζων τό ὄνομα κυρίου, whoever nameth the name of the Lord namely, as his Lord (see ὀνομάζω, a.), 2Ti_2:19; κρατεῖν, to hold fast i. e. persevere in professing, Rev_2:13; οὐκ ἀρνεῖσθαι, Rev_3:8; τό ὄνομα Ἰησοῦ ἐνδοξάζεται ἐν ὑμῖν, 2Th_1:12; βαστάζειν τό ὄνομα ἐνώπιον ἐθνῶν (see βαστάζω, 3), Act_9:15; to do or to suffer anything ἐπί τῷ ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, see ἐπί, B. 2 a. β., p. 232b. The phrase ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ is used in various senses: a. by the command and authority of Christ: see examples just above. b. in the use of the name of Christ i. e. the power of his name being invoked for assistance, Mar_9:38 Relz L T Tr WH (see f. below); Luk_10:17; Act_3:6; Act_4:10; Act_16:18; Jas_5:14; universally, ἐν ποιῶ ὀνόματι ἐποιήσατε τοῦτο; Act_4:7. c. through the power of Christ's name, pervading and governing their souls, Mar_16:17. d. in acknowledging, embracing, professing, the name of Christ: σωθῆναι, Act_4:12; δικαιωθῆναι, 1Co_6:11; ζωήν ἔχειν, Joh_20:31; in professing and proclaiming the name of Christ, παρρησιάζεσθαι, Act_9:27-28 (29). e. relying or resting on the name of Christ, rooted (so to speak) in his name, i. e. mindful of Christ: ποιεῖν τί, Col_3:17; εὐχαριστεῖν, Eph_5:20; αἰτεῖν τί, i. e. (for substance) "to ask a thing, as prompted by the mind of Christ and in reliance on the bond which unites us to him," Joh_14:13; Joh_15:16; Joh_16:24,(26), and R G L in 23; cf. Ebrard, Gebet im Namen Jesu, in Herzog iv. 692ff. God is said to do a thing ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, regardful of the name of Christ, i. e. moved by the name of Christ, for Christ's sake, διδόναι the thing asked, Joh_16:23 T Tr WH; πέμπειν τό πνεῦμα τό ἅγιον Joh_14:26 f. ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ (A. V. for the name of Christ) (German auf Grund Namens Christi), i. e. because one calls himself or is called by the name of Christ: ὀνειδίζεσθαι, 1Pe_4:14 (equivalent to ὡς Χριστιανός, 16). The simple dative τῷ ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ signifies by the power of Christ's name, pervading and prompting souls, Mat_7:22; so also τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου (i. e. of God) λαλεῖν, of the prophets, Jas_5:10 R G; τῷ ὀνόματι σου, by uttering thy name as a spell, Mar_9:38 Rst bez G (see b. above). εἰς τό ὄνομα τοῦ Χριστοῦ συνάγεσθαι is used of those who come together to deliberate concerning any matter relating to Christ's cause (German auf den Namen), with the mind directed unto, having regard unto, his name, Mat_18:20. ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνοματου (A. V. for my name's sake), i. e. on account of professing my name, Mat_19:29; also διά τό ὄνομα μου, αὐτοῦ, etc.: Mat_10:22; Mat_24:9; Mar_13:13; Luk_21:17; Joh_15:21; 1Jn_2:12; Rev_2:3. διά τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ κυρίου παρακαλεῖν τινα, to beseech one by employing Christ's name as a motive or incentive (cf. Winer's Grammar, 381 (357)), 1Co_1:10; by embracing and avowing his name, ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν λαβεῖν, Act_10:43. ὑπέρ τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ, equivalent to for defending, spreading, strengthening, the authority of Christ, Act_5:41 (see below); ; Rom_1:5; 3Jn_1:7; (but according to the better texts in Act_5:41; 3Jn_1:7, τό ὄνομα is used absolutely, the Name, namely, κυρίου, of the Lord Jesus; so Vat. Jas_5:14; cf. Lev_24:11; Lev_24:16; Lightfoot on Ignatius ad Eph_3:1-21; Eph_1:1-23 [ET]; Buttmann, 163 (142) note; Winers Grammar, 594 (553). So Lightfoot in Php_2:9; (see 1 above)). πρός τό ὄνομα Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου ... ἐναντία πρᾶξαι, Act_26:9. 3. In imitation of the Hebrew ωΕΡξεϊ (Num_1:2; Num_1:18; Num_1:20; Num_3:40; Num_3:43; Num_26:53), the plural ὀνόματα is used equivalent to persons reckoned up by name: Act_1:15; Rev_3:4; Rev_11:13. 4. Like the Latinnomen, equivalent to the cause or reason named: ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τούτῳ, in this cause, i. e. on this account, namely, because he suffers as a Christian, 1Pe_4:16 L T Tr WH (others, more simply, take ὄνομα here as referring to Χριστιανός preceding); ἐν ὀνόματι, ὅτι (as in Syriac d )MSB []) Χριστοῦ ἐστε, in this name, i. e. for this reason, because ye are Christ's (disciples), Mar_9:41.

ὄνομα onoma 231x a name; the proper name of a person, etc., Mat_1:23 ; Mat_1:25 ; Mat_10:2 ; Mat_27:32 ; a mere name or rep utation, Rev_3:1 ; in NT a name as the representative of a person, Mat_6:9 ; Luk_6:22 ; Luk_11:2 ; the name of the author of a commission, delegated authority, or religious profession, Mat_7:22 ; Mat_10:22 ; Mat_12:21 ; Mat_18:5 ; Mat_18:20 ; Mat_19:29 ; Mat_21:9 ; Mat_28:19 ; Act_3:16 ; Act_4:7 ; Act_4:12 ; εἰς ὄνομα , ἐν ὀνόματι , on the score of being possessor of a certain character, Mat_10:41-42 ; Mar_9:41 name.

ὄνομα , -τος , τό , [in LXX chiefly for H8034 ;] 1. in general, the name by which a person or thing is called: Mat_10:2 , Mar_3:16 , Luk_1:63 , Joh_18:1 , al. ; ἄνθρωπος (etc.), ᾧ (οὗ ) ὄ .

By a usage similar to that with ref. to Heb . H8034 ( Lft., Notes , 106 f .), but also common in Hellenistic ( M , Pr., 100; Bl., § 39, 4; Deiss , BS , 146 f ., 196 f .; LAE , 123 4), of all that the name implies, of rank, authority, character, etc.: of acting on one's authority or in his behalf, ἐ v (εἰς ) ὄ ., c . gen . pers .

ὄνομα [page 451] (1) For ὄνομα , the name by which a person or thing is called, we may cite : P Magd 24 .4 (B.C. 218) Αἰγυπτία τις , ἧι λέγεται εἶναι ὄνομα Ψενοβάστι [ς , P Lond 854 .11 (i/ii A.D.) (= III. p. 206, Selections p. 70) τῶν φίλων [ἐ ]μ [ῶν τ ]ὰ ὀνόματ̣α̣ ἐνεχάραξα τοῖς ἱ [ε ]ροῖς ἀειμνη̣ <σ > τὠ̣ , I carved the names of my friends on the sanctuaries for perpetual remembrance a traveller s letter, and BGU II. 423 .22 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections , p. 92) ἔσ [τ ]ι [δέ ] μου ὄνομα Ἀντῶνις Μάξιμος . Deissmann ( LAE , p. 121) claims the phrase ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα as a characteristic documentary formula, e.g. P Oxy III. 485 .31 (A.D. 178) ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα ἐπὶ τῶν [τό ]πων δηλωθήσεται , whose names will be ascertained on the spot (Edd.), BGU II. 432 ii. 3 (A.D. 190) ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα τῷ βιβλιδίῳ δεδήλωται , whose names are shown in the little book (cf. Php_4:3 ). (2) By a usage similar to that of the Heb. ωΡΕν , ὄνομα comes in the NT to denote the character, fame, authority of the person indicated (cf. Php_2:9 f. , Heb_1:4 ). With this may be compared the use of the word as a title of dignity or rank , as in P Oxy I. 58 .6 (A.D. 288) where complaint is made of the number of officials who have devised offices for themselves ὀνόματα ἑαυτοῖς ἐξευρόντες , and provision is made that, on the appointment of a single trustworthy superintendent, the remaining offices shall cease .14 f. τὰ δὲ λοιπὰ ὀνόματα παύσηται . See also the use of the word as a title of address in the sepulchral inscr. Preisigke 343 .9 Ἀντωνεῖνε . . . φιλάνθρωπε καλὸν ὄνομα κύριέ μου κτλ ., and the interesting graffito of A.D. 79 (cited by Deissmann LAE , p. 276), where there is allusion to a certain lady Harmonia ἧς ὁ ἀριθμὸς μ̄ε̄ (or ᾱλ̄ε̄ ) τοῦ καλοῦ ὀνόματος (cf. Jas_2:7 ), the number of her honourable name is 45 (or 1035). In P Leid W xix. 10 (ii/iii A.D.) we have an invocation to Γῆ οὗ τὸ (ὄνομα ) οὐδὲ θεοὶ δύναται ( l. δύνανται ) φθέγγεσθαι . (3) The transition from the foregoing to the meaning possession, property, is easy, e.g. P Oxy II. 247 .31 (A.D. 90), where a man registers on behalf of his brother certain property which has descended to him ἐξ ὀνόματος τῆς σημαινομένης καὶ μετηλλαχυίας ἀμφοτέρων μητρὸς Τσεναμμωνᾶτος , from the property ofthe aforesaid and departed Tsennamonas, the mother of us both (Edd.), ib. 249 .9 (A.D. 80) τὸ κατηντηκὸς εἴς με ἐξ ὀνόματος τοῦ ὁμογνησίου μου ἀδελφοῦ , and BGU I. 256 .5 (time of Antoninus Pius) τα̣̣ ὑπάρχοντ [α ] εἰς ὄνομα δυεῖν , that which belongs to the property of the two. We may also compare P Ryl II. 174 .23 (A.D. 112) συνχωρεῖ ἡ Ἡρακλοῦς [ἄκυρο ]ν εἶναι κατὰ πάντα τρόπον ἣν πεποίηται ἡ Τασουχάρι [ο ]ν διὰ τῆς [τῶν ἐ ]νκτήσ [ε ]ων [β ]ιβλι [ο ]θήκης ἑκ [ο ]ύσιον κατ [ο ]χὴν τοῦ ὀνόματος [αὐτῆς ] εἰς τὸν [τ ]ῆ̣[ς Ἡ ]ρακλοῦτος λόγον , Heraclous acknowledges that the voluntary notification of the personal claim made by Tasoucharion in favour of Heraclous through the property registration-office is entirely invalid (Edd.). Sometimes ὄνομα is best left untranslated, as in P Oxy III. 513 .22 (A.D. 184) (= Chrest. I. p. 216) τὸν τόκον τὸν [ὀ ]ν [ό ]ματί μου παραγρα [φέ ]ντα , the interest debited to me (Edd.). (4) The meaning person, which is found in Act_1:15 , Rev_3:4 ; Rev_11:13 , may be illustrated from P Oxy IX. 1188 .8 (A.D. 13) παρὰ τοῦ ὑπογεγραμμέ (νου ) ὀνόματος , from the person below written, BGU I. 113 .11 (A.D. 143) ἑκάστῳ ὀνόματι παρα (γενομένῳ ), P Thead 41 .10 (A.D. 309) διέγ (ραψεν ) Σακάων καὶ οἱ κοι (νωνοὶ ) ἀπόρων ὀνομα̣τ̣ω̣ν̣ τάλαντα τρία , and the late PSI I. 27 .22 (Acts of Martyrdom v/A.D.) ἀπέκτ ]εινεν ψυχὰς [εἰδωλολατ ]ρῶν ὡς ὀνόματα χείλια πεντακόσια . (5) The phrase εἰς (τὸ ) ὄνομά τινος is frequent in the papyri with reference to payments made to the account of any one (cf. Lat. nomen ) P Rein 44 .27 (A.D. 104) χρησθὲν εἰς τὸ Διονυσίου [ὄ ]νομα χρεωστῇ Ἑρμαίῳ νεωτέρῳ , P Meyer 8 .13 (A.D. 151) πάντα̣ [καταγραφῆναι ] συνέταξεν εἰς τὸ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ ὄνο̣μα , and Ostr 1160 .1 (ii/A.D.) διάγραψον εἰς ὄνομ (α ) κληρονόμων Ἄπιδος Νότου (καὶ ) Λ (ιβός ). The usage is of interest in connexion with Mat_28:19 , where the meaning would seem to be baptized into the possession of the Father, etc. See further Deissmann BS pp. 146 f., 197, and W. Heitmuller s monograph Im Namen Jesu (Gφttingen, 1903), where (p. 100 ff.) the phrase is claimed as good vernacular. With εἰς ὄνομα = qua in Mat_10:41 f. , cf. P Oxy I. 37 i. 17 (A.D. 49) (= Selections , p. 50), where in an action against a nurse for the recovery of a male foundling it is stated βούλεται ὀν [ό ]ματι ἐλευθέρου τὸ σωμάτιον ἀπενέγκασθαι , she wishes (to defend herself on the ground) that the foundling was carried off in virtue of its being freeborn. The phrase ἐν (τῷ ) ὀνόματί τινος , so common in the NT, has not been found outside Biblical Greek, but Deissmann ( BS , p. 197 f.) compares the use of the dat. in Syll 364 (= .3 797) .33 (A.D. 37), where the names of five πρεσβευταί , who had signed the oath of allegiance to Caligula taken by the inhabitants of Assos, are followed by the words οἵτινες καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς Γαΐου Καίσαρος Σεβαστοῦ Γερμανικοῦ σωτηρίας εὐξάμενοι Διὶ Καπιτωλίωι ἔθυσαν τῶι τῆς πόλεως ὀνόματι .
