sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Parents and places are named for events, as when Marah is named for bitter water, and the name fits the story. Interpretation: Tradition holds that a name shows a person's nature, and out of respect Jews say "HaShem," meaning "the Name," for God's holy name. In the primary lessons: a word of the story; also «name the shape» or «write the name»; rarely counted (names on a list); in science every living thing has a name; phrases «first name», «last name», «call someone names» (be rude), «in the name of», «named after»
