2 Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not (Jeremiah 33:2-3).
It is significant that God discuss His name and calling upon His name at the same time He discusses creation. The significance is in the idea of first-principles. First-principles are things on which everything else hinges upon and are based. The first-principle here is that God creates and God creates as part of who He is. So this is why creation is described in the context of the name of God. Also not lost here is that by calling upon the name of the mighty Creator, we are calling on the power behind the Creator. The power of the God that called the Universe into existence is beyond our ability to truly understand, but suffice to to say it an awesome power.
