A New Name, A New Status
Commentators agree that the 'new name' promised by God signifies a complete transformation. It represents a new identity, moving from a state of humiliation and ruin to one of honor, prosperity, and divine favor. Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin emphasize that because this name comes directly from 'the mouth of the Lord,' it carries divine authority and perfectly reflects the church's restored and glorious condition.
