TO TAKE A NAME IN VAIN

1. To use a name lightly or profanely; to use a name in making flippant or dishonest oaths. --Ex. xx. 7. Syn: Appellation; title; designation; cognomen; denomination; epithet. Usage: Name , Appellation , Title , Denomination . Name is generic, denoting that combination of sounds or letters by which a person or thing is known and distinguished. Appellation, although sometimes put for name simply, denotes, more properly, a descriptive term, used by way of marking some individual peculiarity or characteristic; as, Charles the Bold, Philip the Stammerer. A title is a term employed to point out one's rank, office, etc.; as, the Duke of Bedford, Paul the Apostle, etc. Denomination is to particular bodies what appellation is to individuals; thus, the church of Christ is divided into different denominations, as Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, etc.
