Here "name" represents the person. See how you translated a similar phrase in [2 Chronicles 2:1](../02/01.md). Alternate translation: "I am about to build a house where Yahweh my God may live" or "I am about to build a house where people may worship Yahweh my God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
