I could say "Yahweh", but I worry you're more than just curious. And I don't really want to debate something I'm not sure about myself.
Psalms 118:26
Questions:
Is the 'house of the Lord' a literal house?
Is the 'name of the Lord' a literal name?
Would the source of the psalm flip-flop between literal and figurative mid-verse?
ברוך הבא בשם יהוה ברכנוכם מבית יהוה׃
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; we have blessed you from the house of the Lord.

This verse is quoted (by Jesus) in Matthew 23:39. References to the Psalms turn up quite often in the Gospels. As they do subsequently throughout the western, and particularly anglophone, literary canon.

The English word "name" has a variety of meanings. It can be a personal label of identity, it can be non-personal identifier, it can refer to reputation, or it might be a title or rank.

So "I am eating" is the same as "I will be eating?"
I am indicates current existence. I will be is reassurance of continued existence.
