Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
.
What is the name above all names?
The name above all names is “The Lord Jesus Christ.”
The Lord Jesus Christ is YHWH.
Joel 2:32
“And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved;”
Romans 10:13
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Paul is referring to Jesus as "Lord" in Rom 10:13. This is beyond doubt; and the fact that he quotes an OT text referring to YHWH and applies it to Jesus shows clearly what he thinks of the status of Jesus.
This is not the first time where OT passages that refer to YHWH in the OT are applied to Jesus in the NT:
Heb 1:6 quotes Deut 32:43
Heb 1:8, 9 quotes Ps 45:6, 7
Heb 1:10-12 quotes Ps 102:25-27 (LXX)
Phil 2:10, 11 quotes Isa 45:23
Matt 3:3 (cf V11) quotes Isa 40:3
In the OT, YHWH is referred to as Savior, first and last, Lord of Lords. These same names are applied to Jesus in the NT.
