Arcana Coelestia #144
144. As to 'calling by name' meaning recognizing their nature, it must be realized that the ancients understood nothing else by 'a name than the essential nature of a real thing, and by 'seeing and calling them by name' recognizing the nature of such. This was why they gave their sons and daughters names in keeping with the things that were meant by them; for there was something unique to every name, as a means of knowing the origin and nature of those children, as will also be seen later on where, in the Lord's Divine mercy, the twelve sons of Jacob are dealt with. Since therefore a name embodied a person's origin and nature nothing else was meant by 'calling by name'. This manner of speaking was customary among them; but anyone who does not understand is sure to wonder whether they do have these meanings.
Matthew 19:4-6
4
He answered, "Haven't you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
5
and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?'
6
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart."
