It can also imply the act of mentioning or referring to someone or something by name. This term is often used in contexts where identity, authority, or reputation is being established or recognized.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, names held significant power and meaning. Naming was not only a way to identify individuals but also to convey character, destiny, or authority. In Jewish tradition, names were often given with prophetic significance or to commemorate an event. The act of naming could also imply ownership or dominion, as seen in the biblical account of Adam naming the animals (Genesis 2:19-20).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3686.htm">onoma</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to name, to give a name<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>derives its name (1), name (1), named (5), names (1), so-called (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 3687: ὀνομάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὀνομάζω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ὠνόμασα</span>; passive, present <span class="greek2">ὀνομάζομαι</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ὠνομασθην</span>; (<span class="greek2">ὄνομα</span>); from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to name</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 615 (572)); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ὄνομα</span>, <span class="accented">to name i. e. to utter</span>: passive <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/1-21.htm">Ephesians 1:21</a>; <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">κυρίου</span> (<span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">Χριστοῦ</span>), the name of the Lord (Christ) namely, as his Lord, <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/2-19.htm">2 Timothy 2:19</a> (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">יְהוָה</span> <span class="hebrew">שֵׁם</span> <span class="hebrew">הִזְכִּיר</span>, <span class="accented">to make mention of the name of Jehovah</span> in praise, said of his worshippers, <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/26-13.htm">Isaiah 26:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/amos/6-10.htm">Amos 6:10</a>); <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ὄνομα</span> <span class="greek2">Ἰησοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/19-13.htm">Acts 19:13</a>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐπί</span></span>, C.
