Related.... RYBS has you parse the quote as "Ana, basheim kaper na... --
Please, through the medium of the name, give kaparah to the sinners..."
(Similarly, "ki bayom hazeh" is taken as a reference to "itzumo shel yom
mechaper".)

So, maybe here too he is somehow referring to the sheim Hashem?!

A second hint of what may be a more solid possibility, is that the
chazan shortly after uses sheim Adnus is a stand-in for the sheim
hameforash. Perhaps if Adnus is being promoted in this paragraph, we
use Hashem for sheim Havayah. (Assuming that Havayah isn't itself the
sheim hameforash, as per the Rambam.)

Tir'u baTov!
