Strong's Lexicon eponomazó: To name, to call by name, to give a name Original Word: ἐπονομάζω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb ὀνομάζω (onomazó, meaning "to name" or "to call"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the root קָרָא (qara), which means "to call" or "to name." This is seen in passages where God names individuals or groups, such as in Genesis 17:5, where Abram is renamed Abraham. Usage: 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
