This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Manoah then asked his name: שִׁמְךָ מִי, lit., “Who is thy name?” מִי inquires after the person; מָה, the nature of quality (see Ewald, §325, a.). “For if thy word come to pass, we will do thee honour.” This was the reason why he asked after his name. כִּבֵּד, to honour by presents, so as to show one's self grateful (see Num 22:17, Num 22:37; Num 24:11).
