God names His people for purpose and identity: Gen 17:5 (Abram→Abraham); Gen 32:28 (Jacob→Israel); Isa 45:4 (Cyrus named before birth). Christ names individuals into new identity (John 1:42 Simon→Peter; Matt 16:18). Adoption language: called sons and daughters (Rom 8:15-17; Gal 4:6-7 — Abba, Father = the most intimate qara').
