“When a child is born, we say in English that his [parents] ‘called him X.’ … The same is true in naming places, for example, ‘He called his ranch Pleasant Valley.’ But Hebrew expresses it quite differently: ‘He called the name of his son X.’ In Hebrew, it is the name that is ‘called,’ not the child or the place. Perhaps the best-known example from the Bible is the one found in Isaiah 7:14: ‘Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.’ This idiom is found in a number of places in the Book of Mormon [see 1 Nephi 16:13; Mosiah 1:2; Alma 23:17]” (Tvedtnes, “Hebrew Background,” 89).
