Exegesis
This is further defined by the genitive chain tou kuriou hēmōn Iesou Christou {τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ | toû kurí-ou hē-môn Iē-soû Khris-toû}, in which successive genitives (“of the Lord,” “of us,” “of Jesus,” “of Christ”) identify whose name is in view: that of “our Lord Jesus Christ.” In English, the participial construction is naturally rendered as a relative clause (“men who have given over…”) and the hyper phrase is maintained as “for the name” to preserve the theological nuance of sacrificial allegiance to Christ’s person and reputation.
In context — Acts 15:26
Men who have given over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ .
