Hallowed, according to Merriam-Webster:
Sacred, consecrated, holy, revered.
To me, "hallowed" has always been more of a picture and a feeling: a place of silence, pure shining light, a sense of awe, a feeling of deep power and reverence, great power, something to be respected and feared, set apart, not to be touched, tread on, or even spoken of by the unworthy, rest, peace, incomparable beauty, something priceless, one-of-a-kind, a sense of huge greatness and grandeur. All at the same time.
Think of God's name in this way, for that is just a taste of what it truly is.
"Hallowed be Your name."
God's name alone is hallowed. His name alone is worthy of praise.
"Therefore God has highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Paul, Philippians 2
Wow. The first two phrases of Jesus' prayer are both repeated here in different words. God's name is above every other name, and His name alone has power.\
"Hallowed be Your name."
