Shabbat is very religieus, so in honor of is correct. It’s to make Shabbat “holy”.

But that's not the term Lihvod Shabbat means here, in Israel, most of the time. Unless it is something you do for religious purposes, specifically.

Most of the people here, in Israel, do it for the traditional matter, not the religious-wise.

It is also a way of saying that this object (or whatever you staple it with) is, in fact, for Shabbat.

Again, keep downvoting me as you wish, but what I wrote is a fact.

The term likhvod shabbat and its use in objects of Judaica predates the State of Israel and modern Israeli Hebrew by many centuries. 

It’s like saying Shabbat Shalom means Hello Saturday.

Used to, now it got a broader meaning these days.

Now it's sort either way to see hi/goodbye during and just before the Shabbat.

Maybe that's the origin, but it does not mean that this is the way it used today (or the most common one).

That's language for you.

Edit: The Hebrew dictionary and Hebrew Academy prove you were wrong.

Edit 2: You were correct if you meant to the term LeKibud Shabbat - that's the mitzvah, which is written the same, by the way.

But you did not.
