John 1:1 everything God was, the Word was

ónoma – name; (figuratively) the manifestation or revelation of someone's character, i.e. as distinguishing them from all others. Thus "praying in the name of Christ" means to pray as directed (authorized) by Him, bringing revelation that flows out of being in His presence. "Praying in Jesus' name" therefore is not a "religious formula" just to end prayers (or get what we want)!
["According to Hebrew notions, a name is inseparable from the person to whom it belongs, i.e. it is something of his essence. Therefore, in the case of the God, it is specially sacred" (Souter).]

The Son came *in the Father’s name* - so much so He came with all the characteristics of the Father and all of His teachings and His works to do - so He mirrors God - just as in the beginning (John 1:1), when He was the Word, all that God was, He was
... and is, and will be.
