Strongs #G707. The term Ἁριμαθαίας (Harimathaias) in Greek is derived from the Hebrew ארמיתים (Arimathaim). The Hebrew name ארמיתים is believed to be a compound of:

  • ארמי (armi) – meaning "high" or "exalted," from the Hebrew רמה (a height)
  • תים (tayim) – the dual suffix indicating "two," suggesting a place with a dual or two-fold aspect.

τοὔνομα is a crasis (phonetic contraction) of the article τὸ and the noun ὄνομα (“name”), forming τοὔνομα (“the name”). Though it may appear to function adverbially in some contexts (e.g., in idiomatic phrases or elliptical constructions), it is morphologically and syntactically a neuter singular noun, not an adverb. It retains full nominal properties—declining regularly and serving as subject, object, or predicate nominative in the sentence. For example, τοὔνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰωάννης (“the name of him [was] John”) clearly demonstrates its use as the grammatical subject.
