What does the word "name" mean in the Bible?

[tonychanyt]

What is the lexical meaning of the word "name" in the Bible?

Leviticus 22:

32 Do not profane my holy name, for I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the LORD, who made you holy

John 14:

In the Bible, the word "name" usually does Father may be glorified in the Son.

Acts 4:

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

The word "name" could mean

1. the label of a person, i.e., the spelling of a person's name, e.g., "YHWH"
2. the person's character, Lev 22:32 above
3. the person's authority, John 14:13
4. the person's title, e.g., Immanuel
5. the person's reputation, e.g., Jacob's name means supplanter
6. even the person himself, Acts 4:13.

In the Bible, the word "name" usually does not refer to the label (meaning #1).

Even today, we accept these usages:

She began making a name (reputation) for herself as a portrait photographer.

They kill in the name (authority) of religion.

A 'Name' could also be referring to a Genome, the Word of God...

Revelation 19:13
"And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."

The Word was made flesh. DNA. Blood is sometimes synonymous with DNA. The Life is in the Blood.

• Book of Life = Book of Genomes
• Name in the Book of Life = The Genome of the Redeemed Individual
• Genome = Soul
• A 'New Name' = New Genome

Revelation 2:17
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."

White Stone = Nucleobase. Seed of Abraham.
