Name — an Aramaic noun for a person's name, a deity's name, or a designation of identity and authority
The Aramaic noun שֻׁם (shum), cognate of Hebrew שֵׁם, means 'name' — personal identity, reputation, or invoked divine authority. In Ezra it appears in Persian administrative contexts: prophets prophesy 'in the name of the God of Israel' (Ezra 5:1), officials ask 'What are the names of the men building this house?' (Ezra 5:4, 10), and a vessel is identified by name (Ezra 5:14). In Daniel it carries theological weight: Daniel blesses God saying 'let the name of God be blessed forever' (Dan 2:20), and Nebuchadnezzar addresses Daniel by his Babylonian name (Dan 2:26; 4:5). Spanish 'nombre' and French 'nom' translate directly.
Senses
1. Name (Aramaic) — A person's or deity's name — denoting identity, authority, or invoked power, used exclusively in the Aramaic portions of Ezra and Daniel. Administrative usage: asking for the names of builders (Ezra 5:4, 10), identifying a temple vessel by name (Ezra 5:14), and prophesying 'in the name of' God (Ezra 5:1). Theological usage: blessing the name of God as an act of worship (Dan 2:20), and the dual naming of Daniel/Belteshazzar 'according to the name of my god' (Dan 2:26; 4:5). The word carries the same weight as Hebrew שֵׁם — name as the seat of identity and authority. Spanish 'nombre' and German 'Name' translate it directly. 12×
