Meyer and Bp. Lehtft. ad loc. (see below just before 3)]); spec. a title of honor and authority, Eph. i. 21 [but see Meyer]; ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι ᾿Ιησοῦ, in devout recognition of the title conferred on him by God (i.e. the title ὁ κύριος), Phil. ii. 10 [but the interp. of ὄνομα here follows that of ὄνομα in vs. 9 above; see Meyer and Bp.

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, excel= lences, deeds, etc. ; thus, εἰς ὄνομα προφήτου, out of regard for [see eis, B. II. 2 d.] the name of prophet which he bears, i. q. because he is a prophet, Mt. x. 41; βαπτίζειν τινὰ εἰς ὄνομά τινος, by baptism to bind any one to recognize and publicly acknowledge the dignity and authority of one [ef. βαπτίζω, 11. Ὁ. (aa.)], Mt. xxviii. 19; Acts viii. 16; xix.5; 1Co.i. 13,15. to doa thing ἐν ὀνόματί twos, i. e. by one’s command and authority, acting on his behalf, promoting his cause, [cf. W. 390 (365); B. § 147, 10]; as, ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου (fr. Ps. exvil. (exvili.) 26), of the Messiah, Mt. xxi. 9; xxiii. 39; Mk. xi. 9; Lk. xiii. 35; xix. 38; Jn. xii. 13; ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ πατρός pov, Jn. ν. 43; x. 25; ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἰδίῳ, of his own free-will and authority, Jn. v.43; todoa thing ἐν τῷ ov. of Jesus, Acts x. 48; 1Co. v. 4; 2 Th. iii. 6; and LT Tr WHin Jas. v. 10 [but surely x. here denotes (rod ; ef. 2 f. below]. Ace. to a very freq. usage in the O. T. (cf. nim? ov), 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 equiv. to his divinity, Lat. numen, (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. Hebr. et Chald. p. 993; Oehler in Herzog x. p. 196 sqq.; Wittichen in Schenkel iv. Ρ- 282 sqq.); so in the phrases ἅγιον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ 56. ἐστίν, Lk. i.49; ἁγιάζειν τὸ ὄν. τοῦ θεοῦ, Mt. vi. 9; Lk. xi. 2; ὁμολογεῖν τῷ dv. αὐτοῦ, Heb. xiii. 15; ψάλλειν, Ro. xv. 9; δοξάζειν, Jn. xii. 28; [Rev. xv. 4]; φανεροῦν, yrwpifew, Jn. xvii. 6, 26; φοβεῖσθαι τὸ dv. τοῦ θεοῦ, Rev. xi. 18; xv.4[GLT Tr WH]; διαγγέλλειν, Ro. ix. 17 ; ἀπαγγέλλειν, Heb. ii. 12; βλασφημεῖν, Ro. ii. 24; 1 Tim. vi. 1; Rev. xiil. 6 ; xvi. 9; ἀγάπην ἐνδείκνυσθαι εἰς τὸ ὄν. τοῦ θεοῦ, Heb. vi. 10; τήρησον αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου, ᾧ (by attraction for 6 [cf.

After the analogy of the preceding expression, the name of Christ (Ἰησοῦ, ᾿Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τοῦ κυρίου Ἴησ.» 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 Epp. of Jn. p. 232]: hence the phrases εὐαγγελίζεσθαι τὰ περὶ τοῦ dv."1. Xp. Acts viii. 12; μεγαλύνειν τὸ dv.

Ebrard, Gebet im Namen Jesu, in Herzog iv. 692 sqq. God is said to do a thing ἐν dv. Xp. regardful of the name of Christ, i. e. moved by the name of Christ, for Christ’s sake, διδόναι the thing asked, Jn. xvi. 23T Tr WH; πέμmew τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ay. Jn. xiv. 26. f. ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, [A.

The simple dat. τῷ dv.

ὄνομα, -τος, τό,

[in LXX chiefly for שֵׁם;]

in general, the name by which a person or thing is called: Mt 10:2, Mk 3:16, Lk 1:63, Jo 18:10, al.; ἄνθρωπος (etc.), ᾧ (οὗ) ὄ.

By a usage similar to that with ref. to Heb. שֵׁם (Lft., Notes, 106 f.), but also common in Hellenistic (M, Pr., 100; Bl., § 39, 4; Deiss, BS, 146 f., 196 f.; LAE, 1234, of all that the name implies, of rank, authority, character, etc.: of acting on one's authority or in his behalf, ἐν (εἰς) ὄ., c. gen. pers.

cause, ground, reason (in cl., usually in bad sense, pretext): Mk 9:41 (Swete, in l.; Dalman, Words, 305 f.).

In late Greek (Deiss., BS., 196 f.), an individual, a person: Ac 1:15, Re 3:4 11:13.

ὄνομα. (1) For ὄνομα, the ame by which a person or thing is called, we may cite: P Magd 24! (B.c. 218) Αἰγυπτία τις, ἧι λέγεται εἶναι ὄνομα Ψενοβάστι[ς, P Lond 854” (i/ii a.p.) (ΞΞ ΠΙ. p. 206, Selections p. 70) τῶν φίλων [ἐ]μ[ῶν τ]ὰ ὀνόματα ἐνεχάραξα τοῖς ἱ[εἸροῖς ἀειμνή (σὺ τως, “1 carved the names of my friends on the sanctuaries for perpetual remembrance ”—a traveller’s letter, and BGU 11. 4232 (i1/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 92) to[t]t [δέ] pov ὄνομα ᾿Αντῶνις Μάξιμος. Deissmann (1.4.3, p. 121) claims the phrase ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα as ‘‘a characteristic documentary formula,” e.g. P Oxy III. 485%! (a.p. 178) ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα ἐπὶ τῶν [τόπων δηλωθήσεται, ““ whose names will be ascertained on the spot” (Edd.), BGU 11. 432-38 (a.p. 190) ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα τῷ βιβλιδίῳ δεδήλωται, “whose names are shown in the little book” (cf. Phil 43). (2) By a usage similar to that of the Heb. Dv’, ὄνομα comes in the NT to denote the character, fame, authority of the person indicated (cf. Phil 29f, Heb 14). With this may be compared the use of the word as a title of dgnity or vank, as in P Oxy I. 588 (A.D. 288) where complaint is made of the number of officials who have devised ‘‘ offices” for themselves—évépara ἑαυτοῖς ἐξευρόντες, and provision is made that, on the appointment of a single trustworthy superintendent, the remaining ‘‘offices” shall cease—'4f τὰ δὲ λοιπὰ ὀνόματα παύσηται. See also the use of the word as a title of address in the sepulchral inscr. Prezsigke 343° “Avtwvetve . . . φιλάνθρωπε καλὸν ὄνομα κύριέ μου κτλ., and the interesting grafito of a.D. 79 (cited by v ονομα Deissmann ZAZ£, p. 276), where there is allusion to a certain lady Harmonia—#s ὁ ἀριθμὸς με (or ade) τοῦ καλοῦ ὀνόματος (cf. Jas 27), ‘the number of her honourable name is 45 (or 1035).” In P Leid Wxix-10 (ji/iii A.D.) we have an invocation to Γῆ--οὗ τὸ (ὄνομα) οὐδὲ θεοὶ δύναται (1 δύνανται) φθέγγεσθαι. (3) The transition from the foregoing to the meaning “possession,” “property,” is easy, e.g. P Oxy II. 24732 (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 Toevappwvaros, ‘from the property of the aforesaid and departed Tsennamonas, the mother of us both” (Edd.), 2. 249° (A.D. 80) τὸ κατηντηκὸς εἴς pe ἐξ ὀνόματος τοῦ ὁμογνησίου μου ἀδελφοῦ, and BGU I. 256° (time of Antoninus Pius) τὰ ὑπάρχοντ[α] els ὄνομα δυεῖν, ‘that which belongs to the property of the two.” We may also compare P Ryl II. 17473 (A.p. 112) συνχωρεῖ ἡ Ἡρακλοῦς [ἄκυρο]ν εἶναι κατὰ πάντα τρόπον ἣν πεποίηται ἡ Tacovχάρι[ο]ν διὰ τῆς [τῶν ἐϊνκτήστε]ων [β]ιβλι[ο]θήκης ἑκ[ο]ύσιον κατ[οἸχὴν τοῦ ὀνόματος [αὐτῆς] εἰς τὸν [τ]ῆ[ς Η]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. 51322 (a.p. 184) (= Chrest. I. p- 276) τὸν τόκον τὸν [ὀ]ν[ό]ματί pov παραγρα[φέϊντα, ‘the interest debited to me” (Edd.). (4) The meaning ‘‘ person,” which is found in Ac 115, Rev 3%, 1178, may be illustrated from P Oxy IX. 11888 (A.D. 13) παρὰ tod tmoyeypappe(vov) ὀνόματος, ‘from the person below written,” BGU I. 1134 (a.p. 143) ἑκάστῳ ὀνόματι παρα(γενομένῳ), P Thead 411° (A.D. 309) διέγίραψεν) Σακάων kal of κοι(νωνοὶ) ἀπόρων ὀνομάτων τάλαντα τρία, and the late PSI I. 2722 (Acts of Martyrdom —v/A.D.) ἀπέκτΊ]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. vozzen)—P Rein 4457 (a.p. 104) χρησθὲν εἰς τὸ Διονυσίου [8]vopa χρεωστῇ ᾿Εἱρμαίῳ νεωτέρῳ, P Meyer 8:3 (A.D. 151) πάντα [καταγραφῆναι] συνέταξεν εἰς τὸ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ ὄνομα, and Osty 1160! (ii/A.D.) διάγραψον εἰς ὄνομ(α) κληρονόμων Απιδος Νότου (καὶ) «Λ(ιβός). The usage is of interest in connexion with Mt 281°, where the meaning would seem to be ‘‘baptized into the possession of the Father, etc.” See further Deissmann BS pp. 146f., 197, and W. Heitmuller’s monograph Zz Namen Jesu (Gottingen, 1903), where (p. roo ff.) the phrase is claimed as good vernacular. With eis ὄνομα = gua in Mt 1o4f, cf.
