Inflections: Plural nomina sacra.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin nomen sacrum.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin nomen sacrum sacred name (compare quot. 1904 and see note) < nomen name (see noun n.) + sacrum , neuter of sacer (see sacre adj.¹). Compare IHS n.The term is generally attributed to Ludwig Traube, whose Nomina Sacra. Versuch einer Geschichte der christlichen Kürzung was, however, not published until 1907. The expression nōmen sacrum was used in classical Latin in a more general sense. The use of Greek contractions for a set of fifteen biblical or theological terms was a scribal practice, which may have been inspired by earlier use of the tetragram for the name of God (compare quot. 1882 at tetragram n. 1); these contractions are known as nomina sacra (sacred names). The use of the initial and last letters of the names may have been motivated by the words of Jesus in the book of Revelation, where he refers to himself as ‘the beginning and the end’ (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13) and ‘the first and the last’ (Revelation 1:11, 17, 2:8, 22:13), as well as ‘the Alpha and the Omega’ (Revelation 1:8, 11, 21:6, 22:13). The use of the overline spanning the whole of the sacred name may owe its origin to its use as standard practice in writing Greek numerals.

Palaeography.

Any of various words of particular religious significance given a standard contracted form by early Christian scribes; the contracted form itself. Chiefly in plural.Originally used in manuscripts in Greek, later in Latin and a small number of other languages, nomina sacra were typically formed by omitting letters from the middle of the word, and marking a horizontal line above the resulting abbreviation. Such contractions were commonly used for fifteen Greek words including those for God, Lord, and Jesus.
