Judges 13:18

And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?

And the angel of the Lord said unto him,.... Being so importunate, and pressing upon him;

Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret? and not to be known; as his nature and essence as a divine Person, which may be meant by his name, is what passes knowledge, is infinite and incomprehensible; see Proverbs 30:4 or "wonderful" {p}; which is one of the names of Christ, and fitly agrees with him, who is wonderful in his person, as God and man; in his incarnation, in his offices and relations, in his love to his people, and in all he is unto them, and has done for them;

See Gill on "Isaiah 9:6".
