God sometimes changes names intentionally
Abram to Abraham
In the original Hebrew language of the Torah, which is the first
five books of our Old Testament, the name Abram literally means
“exalted father.” The name Abraham, however, contains another
unused root word, which roughly means “multitude.” Abraham
translated literally, then, means “father of a multitude.” Most
modern Bibles that contain footnotes will annotate this literal
meaning of the Hebrew in the margin.
Take note of this: the changing of Abraham’s name is a sign from
God. By changing his name, the Lord not only confirmed that he
would fully carry out the promise that he made to Abraham. He, as
well, made Abraham the typological father of faith for all the
saints (Jude 3). From the flesh of Abraham, a multitude did come,
the Jewish people.
But Abraham is not only the father of a single ethnic nation, he
is the spiritual “father of a multitude.” And this faithful
multitude, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, is too large to
number (Rev 7:9). Through him, all the nations of the world are
blessed (Gen 22:18).

the Lion of Judah and the spotless Lamb, who will crush the
head of the serpent and will be a light to the nations. (Isa 42:6)
He is the one who, though the builders rejected him, is called the
Cornerstone. (Rom 9:30ff; Eph 2:20) He is the one who, though the
Father has given him the name above all names, does not seek his
own advantage but seeks and saves that which is lost. (Isa 9:6;
Phil 2:6; Luke 19:10) His name is forever the Word of God. (John
1:1ff; Rev 19:13) And in the last, all will bend their knee and
know him as the King of kings and Lord of lords. (Rev 19:16) - from

In Bible, when you see God is comes from the Hebrew word
Elohim, which is a generic term and can refer to any god, it's not
a personal name
YHVH is God's name, translated as LORD with all cap's or Lord
Almighty.
Jewish People would not speak that name out of fear they would
say it incorrectly, original Hebrew did not have vowel points, just
consenants, instead they would use Adonai which means Lord , it's a
title not a name, or they woudl say Hashem which simply means the
name
Recently at my job I've been working with a lot of coworkers I
haven't met before and it's remind me how important it is to
remember people's names and what a poor job I do at this, so while
I've been thinking a lot about names from the Bible,
my work application from this is that names are
important, and part of loving others at work is learning
and remembering the name of your co-workers
My name, David, means Beloved. Do you know the meaning
of your name?
If you want to go the extra mile and make a connection with
others, you can look up the meaning of someone's name and ask them
if they know it, and if they don't share it with them.
Did you know that one day, as a believer, you will receive
from God a special hidden name? Rev. 2:17 says "He who has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who
overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I
will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name
written which no one knows except him who
receives it.”"
While you're talking with someone at work about the
meaning of their name, you might want to ask them if they are
familiar with this verse in Revelation.
E
James 2:15-17 says "15 If a brother or sister is naked
and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says
to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not
give them the things which are needed for the body,
what does it profit? 17 Thus also
faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
