“Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.”
So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs — the comparison initiates the catena of Old Testament proofs establishing his surpassing supremacy. The Son's superiority is measured by the superiority of his name; in Hebrews, names carry ontological weight, revealing the deepest nature of their bearers.
