The Name of Blasphemy

[Mr. M]

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,

having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

What is the name of blasphemy???

The Greek interlinear has autos onoma blasphemia=his name blasphemy. 

The articles seem to be inserted by the translator. 

As if blasphemy is his name.

Any connection between this beast and the synagogue of Satan?

Revelation 2:9 I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich);

and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, 

but are a synagogue of Satan.

Notice that the name of blasphemy is upon the sea-beast's heads, plural, there being seven of them.

This directly cross-references as follows:

*Rev 17:3  So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Many versions pluralise names as well 

WEB Rev 13:1  Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

*Babylon is carried on the beast who is swollen with blasphemous names = false,  profane deification. [found in numerous cults and persuasions]

Revelation 1:

4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.

There are seven spirits of God, and blasphemy of God's Spirit is the unforgivable sin, does it not track that there would be seven heads of blasphemy? Did you note my second post? I am interested in what can be taken from that gloss from those insertions. There is no lack of articles and prepositions in the Greek, so why insert them?
