The paper presents the proposal of the new understanding of biblical name of God. The paper has two parts. In the first part we have the presentation of the exegetical research. It shows us, that the name of God can’t be understood as the revelation of his essence, but as the promise of his presence, preserving of his mystery or rejecting of the answer. The second part presents us ideas of Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, Etienne Gilson and Martin Buber. Augistine, Thomas and Gilson understand the name of God as identity of essence and existance. The ideas of Buber are similar to biblical research.
