The name of God can vary significantly depending on religious traditions and cultural contexts. In monotheistic religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, names and titles commonly used include:
-
Judaism: God is often referred to as Yahweh (YHWH), Adonai, or Elohim. In many Jewish traditions, the name YHWH is considered sacred and is not pronounced; instead, "Adonai" (My Lord) is used.
-
Christianity: God is often referred to simply as God, but Jesus also referred to God as the Father. Additionally, terms such as Jehovah and Elohim are sometimes used.
-
Islam: God is referred to as Allah in Arabic. Allah is considered the same God worshiped in Judaism and Christianity, but the name reflects the Arabic language.
Other religions may have different names for God or gods, such as Brahman in Hinduism, or various deities in polytheistic traditions. Each name often carries specific meanings and implications within its respective tradition.
