Exegesis
The second main verb eblasphemesan {ἐβλασφήμησαν | eblasphḗmēsan} “they blasphemed” introduces a new coordinated action, with to onoma {τὸ ὄνομα | tó ónoma} “the name” as its direct object, further defined by the genitive tou theou {τοῦ θεοῦ | toû theoû} “of God.”
In context — Revelation 16:9
And the people were scorched by great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God , Who holds authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give Him glory.
