" What does it mean by name and by person,I can understand by name like along with my name but I didn't get the 2nd expression"by person". I don't think your friend is a native speaker, and this sentence is not very clear. 'By person' is not a standard phrase.

- Perhaps it means that when he/she prays, he thinks about or mentions your name and also thinks about you as a person, eg sees your face in his mind.

Hi again,
Yes.You are absolutely right Clive,my friend is not a native speaker.But your reply was very much helpful for me as I got the sense of these words,perhaps its regarding with the imagination of a person when its "by person".
