Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
I'm not certain about "the name," but when the overcomers, the man child, the very elect....the saints are given "a white stone" upon which is the "new name written," it means....they are in their glorified body, as He is. That is the "white stone."

MMarc said:Notice how Jesus gave Simon his new name ''Peter'' for on this rock (white stone) as Peter was cleansed by the blood of the lamb..
As for the new name thing we see throughout, that Abram became Abraham, etc...
Joseph became AfnahowdoyouprnounceitPaneah.
Likewise when Jesus mentions He will write His new name on our foreheads (understanding) is because He will do a New work,as He does not return to bare sin but reveal salvation.

Osgiliath said:Isaiah 62:3 "Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4 Thou shalt no more be called Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be called Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."
Osgiliath said:.... I personally think the new name is "Christian" (Christianos, meaning "belonging to Christ")
