ὄνομα ónoma · G3686 · name, person, people: Greek ὄνομα (ónoma, G3686) is the standard New Testament equivalent for Hebrew שֻׁם (shum, H8036), both denoting "name" as a proper designation or identifying term for persons, places, or concepts, with parallel extension to abstract notions of authority and character.
