Allusion2

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Rev 3:7–13

'You will be called by a new name, which Yahweh's mouth will name' — source for 'my own new name' written on the overcomer (3:12). High verbal correspondence on the 'new name' motif.

High confidence
Rev 2:12–17

"A new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it" echoes the eschatological "new name" given by Yahweh to redeemed Zion (cf. also Isa 65:15). Medium confidence on the lexical phrase ὄνομα καινόν; the secrecy element is Revelation's own development.

Echo1

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Rev 19:11-13

'you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will give' - background for 'a name written which no one knows but he himself' (Rev 19:12); the hidden/new divine-given name motif. Cf. Rev 2:17; 3:12.
