השם המפורש / הַשֵּׁם הַמְּפֹרָשׁ • (hashém ham'forásh) m

- c. 1176-1178, Moses Maimonides, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing 14:10, “Book of Love”, Mishneh Torah:
ואומר את השם ככתבו והוא השם הנהגה מיו״ד ה״א וא״ו ה״א וזה הוא השם המפורש האמור בכל מקום ובמדינה אומרים אותו בכינויו והוא באל״ף דל״ת שאין מזכירין את השם ככתבו אלא במקדש בלבד- And he says the name as it is written, that is the name that is pronounced from yod-he-vav-he, which is the explicit name that is mentioned in every place. And in the country they say it with its alternative name, which is with aleph-dalet because only in the Temple would they mention the name as it is written.
