Names of God
A number of traditions have lists of many
names of God
, many of which enumerate the various
qualities
of a
Supreme Being
. The English word "
God
" is used by multiple religions as a
noun
or
name
to refer to different deities. Ancient
cognate
equivalents for the word "God" include
proto-Semitic
El
,
biblical Hebrew
Elohim
(God or/of gods),
Arabic
'ilah
(
a
or
the
god), and
biblical Aramaic
Elah
(God). The personal or
proper name
for God in many of these languages may either be distinguished from such
attributes
, or
homonymic
. For example, in
Judaism
the
tetragrammaton
is sometimes related to the ancient Hebrew
ehyeh
(
I will be
).
