`“The Greatest Name is the Name of Bahá’u’lláh. “Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá” is an
invocation meaning: “O Thou Glory of Glories!” “Alláh-u-Abhá” is a greeting
which means: “God the All-Glorious.” Both refer to Bahá’u’lláh. By Greatest
Name is meant that Bahá’u’lláh has appeared in God’s Greatest Name, in
other words, that He is the supreme Manifestation of God. “
“In Islám there is a tradition that among the many names of God, one was
the greatest; however, the identity of this Greatest Name was hidden.
Bahá’u’lláh has confirmed that the Greatest Name is “Bahá.”
- Note 33 from the The Kitáb-i-Aqdas,
The Greatest Name symbol is based on the Arabic root word of “Bahá” meaning
Glory, splendor or light.
