Exegesis
The noun onoma {ὄνομα | ónoma} ‘name’ is modified by the perfect passive participle gegrammenon {γεγραμμένον | gegramménon} ‘having been written’, which suggests a completed and enduring inscription, likely with divine or judicial sanction implied in the passive.
In context — Revelation 17:5
And upon her forehead was a name written: “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the earth.”
