This is seen in passages where God names individuals or groups, such as in Genesis 17:5, where Abram is renamed Abraham.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb ἐπονομάζω is used to denote the act of naming or calling someone or something by a specific name. It implies a formal or significant designation, often reflecting identity, character, or purpose. In the New Testament, it is used to indicate the conferring of a name that carries with it a particular meaning or significance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, names were considered to hold power and significance, often reflecting the nature or destiny of the person or object named. The act of naming was not merely a label but was thought to convey identity and authority. In the biblical context, names often had theological implications, revealing something about God's character or His relationship with His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and <a href="/greek/3687.htm">onomazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to call by name<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bear the name (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2028: ἐπονομάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπονομάζω</span></span>: (present passive <span class="greek2">ἐπονομάζομαι</span>); from <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">קָרָא</span>; <span class="accented">to put a name upon, name</span>; passive <span class="accented">to be named</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/2-17.htm">Romans 2:17</a>; cf.
