ὄνομα (onoma) in John 1:12: Noun Accusative Singular Neuter

Noun: the word names a reality here, and the form by itself does not decide whether the focus is a person, authority, or reputation.

Accusative: the form commonly marks the object of a preposition or verb, and here it fits the phrase after epsilon iota sigma.

Singular: the form presents one referent in this occurrence, which suits a single shared object of belief in the clause.

Neuter: the noun belongs to the neuter grammatical class, and that classification does not by itself make a theological or personal gender claim.

πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ

The noun is governed by the preposition epsilon iota sigma, which normally takes an accusative and frames movement or direction toward its object in a figurative sense here.

It functions as the object of belief, naming the target or content toward which the believers are directed.

It is not the subject of the clause, and the accusative form here does not by itself require a separate idiomatic meaning beyond the context of trusting in his name.

High: The accusative noun is the object of the faith phrase and helps identify the direction of trust in John 1:12.

Accusative singular neuter noun. names the object toward which believing is directed. Attached to the believing into his name phrase. Governed by the preposition eis. The grammar identifies the object of the faith phrase; the verse supplies the identity and authority in view.

What is the stated object of believing? The noun names his name as the object in the faith phrase.

Direct: The form directly supports the English phrase in his name.

Name language points beyond a label to the person and authority in context. Neuter grammatical gender should not be turned into a claim about personhood.

Name means only a spoken label: In this context, name points to the person and authority being trusted, not merely a sound. case form carries all theology of faith: The accusative marks the object of the phrase; the verse and Gospel context explain believing.

The witness reads ὄνομα in John 1:12 within the phrase τοῖς πιστεύουσιν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, so the form sits inside a belief construction.

The lemma ὄνομα can mean a name, and by extension can carry the idea of character, authority, or reputation in context.

The accusative after epsilon iota sigma presents the name as the one toward which trust is directed, while context supplies the personal reference to him.

The verse links receiving him with believing into his name, so the form supports trust that rests on his identity and authority.

This fits the broader canonical use of name language for personal authority and allegiance, without forcing any one nuance beyond the sentence.

In teaching or translation, the form clarifies that faith is not abstract but is directed toward the person identified by the name.

Do not derive from case or number alone that the word means only reputation, or that it changes the lexeme into another concept.
