- קָרָא (qârâʼ, H7121) קָרָא is the standard Hebrew verb for calling/naming with broad application, while ἐπονομάζω (eponomázō, G2028) ἐπονομάζω specifically denotes naming or denominating with the prefix ἐπι- adding nuance of naming 'upon' or 'after'; the Greek term represents the more specialized Koine lexical choice for Hebrew קָרָא in naming contexts.
