Strong's Lexicon prosagoreuó: To address, to call, to name Original Word: προσαγορεύω Word Origin: From πρός (pros, meaning "to" or "toward") and ἀγορεύω (agoreuó, meaning "to speak" or "to address") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves terms like קָרָא (qara, Strong's H7121), which means "to call" or "to name." Usage: The verb "prosagoreuó" is used to denote the act of addressing someone by name or title, or calling someone something. It implies a formal or specific designation, often used in contexts where a particular name or title is being ascribed to a person. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, names and titles held significant importance, often reflecting one's identity, status, or role within society. The act of naming or addressing someone was not merely a casual gesture but carried weight and meaning. In the biblical context, names often revealed character or destiny, and the act of naming could signify authority or relationship.
