שֵׁם, מוֹנִיטִין
Since the Torah portion to be read this Shabbat by Jews around the world is שְׁמוֹת
- names of, I thought it appropriate to introduce another important word related the common word, name - שֵׁם.
A reputation in English can also be called a good name or a bad name. The same is true for Hebrew.
For example:
She gives a good name to the (her) family.
and
That's reputation in the personal sense. But in the business sense - more appropriately translated into English as renown, the better word to use is מוֹנִיטִין(a loan word - from which language, I do not know).
מוניטין generally refers to a positive reputation. To refer to a negative one, you'd have to add the word רַע (bad) to the phrase: מוֹנִיטִין רַע.
