'Names are more than labels. In Old Testament times a name expressed identification, but also identity. Significant meaning often attached to a name. Names had an explanatory function (cf. Abigail's explanation about her husband, "He is just like his name — his name is Fool" [1 Sam 25:25]). Name changes were important, since a message attached to the name. Abram (great father) became Abraham (father of a multitude) (Gen 17:5; 32:28). In some sense a name was the expression of an inmost reality. 'Scripture makes much of the name for deity because in the name lies a theology. "I am the LORD, that is my name!" (Isa 42:8; cf. Exod 15:3). The name of God is a surrogate for God himself (Psalm 54:1; Prov 18:10; Jer 23:27). To give attention to the name (i.e., to God himself) is to put oneself in the place of blessing (Mal 3:16).'
