“JEHOVAH” IS NOT A PROPER NAME

God’s response to Moses from the burning bush was Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh - “I will be that I will be” (Exodus 3:14). This name is a special name, because it is not a real name. Man cannot call God by this name, and could learn nothing about God’s presence, character, or being. Rather, it resembles a description of a being with options: “I will be what I will be” and not what I will not be. Is there a possibility of describing what has no description?
Hanoch Ben-Pazi; The Philosophical Meaning of the Names of God; Revue Internationale de Philosophie; v60; n235; 2006

Remember, the God of Israel has many titles, not just one. He is also called King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the First and the Last, the Rock, the Shepherd, Father, I Am, Lord of Glory, etc. … Jehovah was another one of the titles.
Patrick Zukeran; probe.org/is-it-wrong-to-speak-of-god-as-jehovah/

Elsewhere in the Book of Exodus the name of God is given in a variety of expanded forms … the term “name” itself is not a decisive criterion, since it is applied equally to names as we understand them, and to titles or descriptive formulas.
David N. Freedman; The Name of the God of Moses ; Jrnl of Biblical Literature; 1960; v79; n2; p152

The earliest written mention of Yahweh, outside the Bible, appears in a 14th-century BC Egyptian inscription from the tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, mentioning the “land of the nomads of Yahweh (Yhw)” in the region of Edom. This predates the later mentions on the Mesha Stele (c. 840 BC), the earliest known instance of the tetragrammaton in a Moabite context, and inscribed silver amulets from Ketef Hinnom (c. 600 BC).

The earliest mention of the word Yahweh in the Old testament is in Genesis 2:4.
“These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made earth and heaven.” LSB

If the book of Job was written some years before the Books of Moses, it is curious that Yahweh is mentioned in Job.
Job 1:6> “Now it was the day that the sons of God came to stand before Yahweh, and Satan also came among them.” LSB
[8/25/25]

New Testament references to the Old Testament shows that Jehovah in the OT is doing the work of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, under different circumstances. Thus “Jehovah” cannot be said to be the proper name of either person of the Trinity.
[1/3/24]

In spite of the fact that what we want, and what Moses is represented as wanting, is a name, and not a definition of the name, or a characterization of the person bearing it, it is assumed (so far as I know, by all scholars) that the writer of [Exod. 3:14] here puts into the mouth of Jahweh at once a definition of his name and a characterization of his person.
William R. Arnold; The Divine Name in Exodus iii:14; Jrnl of Biblical Literature; 1905; v24; n2; p108

I have always felt, and so must have others, that in these and many similar instances, the word YHWH must have been understood as an age-old epithet of the God of Israel — a concrete and graphic epithet, capable of conveying either threat or promise, either fear and warning or hope and reassurance […]
Julian Obermann; The Divine Name YHWH in the Light of Recent Discoveries; Jrnl of Biblical Literature; 1949; v68; n4; p307

Another reason why YHWH is not a proper name of the deity is because the “name” of Yahweh is given as Jealous:
― for you shall not worship any other god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God―
Exodus 34:14; Legacy Standard Bible

The “name” Yahweh has No salvific value, unlike the proper name of Jesus.
There is nothing necessary or magical about pronouncing the name of God in Hebrew. If it were necessary for salvation or sanctification, we certainly would have had the Name phonetically represented in the New Testament.
John R. Kohlenberger III; Foreword; Rotherham’s Emphasized Bible; 1959/1994; p vi.

In the Old Testament the word we translate “name” is closely related to the one we translate “soul,” and both mean something quite different from their common English usage. The ancient Hebrew “soul” is the essence of an animate being, not necessarily just of a human being; God is also a soul and even animals are souls. You can therefore even speak of “dead souls.” “Soul” designates the totality of the person. And so does “name,” as an eminent Hebrew scholar explains: “It is to be understood quite literally that the name is the soul ... the heritage consisting in the name is not an empty appellation, a sound, but the substance of a soul ... The name immediately calls forth the soul it designates; therefore there is such a deep significance in the very mention of a name.” (Pederson 1:245, 254, 256)

When the name mentioned and the soul called forth is God’s, one is assured of divine action. “In every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you.” (Ex 20:24) “Whoever calls on the name of Yahweh shall be saved.” (Joel 2:32) Therefore the divine name must be treated with great respect: “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain.” (Ex 20:7, Dt 5:11) Blasphemy against the name is an extremely serious offense punishable by stoning. (Lv 24:16) ¹ Even forgetting the name is a terrible sin: woe unto those “who think to make my people forget my name ... even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.” (Jer 23:27; see also Ps 44:20) And even the very mention of the names of other Gods is to be avoided: “Make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let such be heard out of your mouth.” (Ex 23:13; see also Jos 23:7, Hos 2:17)

The realism with which the name of God is conceived is often striking. The priests are to bless the people of Israel by “placing on them” God’s name. (Nm 6:27) The name itself comes to execute judgment: “Behold, the name of Yahweh comes from afar, burning with his anger ...” (Is 30:27) It acts: “The name of the God of Jacob protect you!” (Ps 20:1) It is a place of refuge: “The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.” (Prv 18:10; see also Zep 3:12) It dwells in the tabernacle, later the temple, which is “the place which Yahweh will choose to make his name dwell there.” (Dt 16:2; see also 12:11, 14:23, 16:6,11, 26:2, Is 18:7, Ps 74:7) The temple was in fact built specifically to be “a house for the name of Yahweh.” (1 K 8:17; see also 3:2, 8:20, 27, 29)

Consequently, “to know the name of Yahweh” implies much more than knowledge of a particular combination of letters. Several Psalms suggest that only the righteous know God’s name. (9:10, 91:14) And although Genesis 4:26 states that, “At that time men began to call upon the name of Yahweh,” much later this very name is revealed to Moses as if it were not known before. (Ex 3:13-15; cf. 6:2-3) Still later Isaiah promises that Israel will come to know God’s name in the future, implying that it was still not known, or not fully known. (52:6)

The same theme continues in the New Testament, where Jesus says, “I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world ... I have made known to them your name, and I will make it known ...” (Jn 17:6, 26) Here too, the implication is that the name is at once known and yet not known. Despite the entire Old Testament history, it is Jesus who reveals God’s name. (See also Rv 19:12-13)

What is especially remarkable in the New Testament, though, is that all of the wonderful attributes formerly ascribed to the divine name “Yahweh” come to be attributed to the name “Jesus.” Its mention is an absolutely reliable assurance of divine action: “Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.” (Jn 16:23; see also 14:13, 14; 16:24, 26) Not only does the believer find “life in his name” (Jn 20:31), but this life is not to be found anywhere else since “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) Jesus’ name is placed on an even footing with the Holy Spirit as the effective agent in baptism: “you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.” (1 Cor 6:11) And as did the name of Yahweh, this name itself acts: “And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong ...” (Acts 3:16) To suffer for the faith is to suffer “for the name” (Acts 5:41, 9:16, 15:26, 21:13), just as faith itself is “in the name” of Jesus Christ (Jn 3:18, Acts 3:16, 1 Jn 3:23). The honor due to this name cannot be overestimated: “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ...” (Phil 2:9-10)

Hence the name of Jesus has played a central role in Christian spirituality, particularly in prayer, from the beginning. And when monasticism arose in the fourth century with its devotion to literal fulfillment of all of the gospel’s commandments, including those to “unceasing prayer” (1 Thes 5:17, Lk 18:1, Eph 6:18), that central role became even more prominent.

One way to make prayer “unceasing” was to persistently repeat a short formula, usually consisting of a simple cry for “help” or “mercy.” Jesus’ warning against “vain repetition” (Mt 6:7) was understood not to apply to repetition per se but rather to doing so “vainly.” Indeed, he himself taught his disciples to repeat the “Our Father.” But for many circumstances something simpler than the Lord’s Prayer was needed, something easily recited even while one was occupied by other tasks, yet expressing what needed to be expressed. Initially the formulas chosen varied from the ultimate in simplicity such as “Lord help” or “Lord have mercy” to somewhat longer variants such as Ps 70:1: “Make haste, O God, to deliver me!” But gradually one formula gained ascendancy. It was apparently influenced by the short cries for help people make to Jesus in the Gospels, particularly that of a certain blind man who attains his healing precisely through persistence in repeating one phrase -- “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” (Lk 18:38; see also Mk 10:47, Mt 20:31) Also of some influence was the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee, wherein Jesus praises the publican who prayed simply, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” (Lk 18:13) The formula that became the standard by the thirteenth or fourteenth century contained elements of both of these with a few changes making Christian doctrine more explicit: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner” (sometimes without “a sinner”). It came to be known as the Jesus prayer. ²

That title itself identifies the most vital element, the sine qua non of the prayer. Yet the other names “Lord,” “Christ,” and “Son of God” were also of great importance in that they identified more precisely the “Jesus” addressed and at the same time made of the prayer a confession of faith. As for the nature of the prayer’s request, the attitude of contrition it emphasized arose from and was especially appropriate to the monastic milieu -- but at the same time it could also be understood in a wider sense. “Mercy” is sometimes taken to refer merely to the lessening of punishment due to an offender, but the Greek ελέησον (to have mercy) can also mean simply “to be good to” or “to be gracious to,” particularly in a Christian context because of the way it is used in the Greek Old Testament. Hence “have mercy” could be construed also as a request for “help” and “deliverance” -- and ultimately for all that is included in the petitions of the Lord’s Prayer.

So the Jesus prayer was both simple and comprehensive. It was at once a confession of faith and a request for all that one could ask for. And thanks to its simplicity one could use it constantly even while engaged in manual labor as monks often are. The prayer eventually gained such general acceptance that it even found its way into the official rite of monastic tonsure, where it was and is commended to the new monk as a way of life. On the other hand, not only monastics could find this prayer useful, and with the publication in the eighteenth century of the Philokalia ³ and in the nineteenth of The Way of a Pilgrim, ⁴ the Jesus prayer was on its way to becoming a nearly universal standard in Eastern Orthodox spirituality for monastics and non-monastics alike.

Over the years many Orthodox Christian writers advocated this formula and explained its usefulness in a variety of ways. Some pointed out that since anyone can say it anywhere and anytime, it makes possible truly unceasing prayer. Others noted that its simplicity facilitates shutting all other thoughts out of the mind save one -- the thought of God. Some suggested that as a call for mercy it can help keep alive one’s awareness of being a sinner in need of mercy and can thereby help to develop and maintain the publican’s attitude which was so praised by the Lord. Many emphasized its saving significance as a confession of faith, recalling texts like St. Paul’s “with the mouth is confessed unto salvation.” (Rom 10:10)

And many stressed the vital importance of the divine name. The scriptural understanding of the power of Jesus’ name was echoed in patristic writings throughout the history of the Christian Church, had directly influenced the very development of the Jesus prayer, and was explicitly referred to in numberless treatises written about that prayer. And yet one could always assert that some aspects of the divine name’s significance could still be explored in more depth. Doing so might have to involve the use of phrases and expressions rarely seen before, but that would not necessarily imply the invention of a different belief or “dogma.” One could reasonably argue that such new phrases and expressions simply clarify in a new way the same basic belief held by all Christians from the beginning. This was the stand taken by one monk named Ilarion around the beginning of the twentieth century when he offered some new explanations of his own. His critics saw something sinister in his “new phrases,” however. They felt he was not merely explaining what had always been implicit but was rather introducing something new and therefore false. The result was a theological controversy that degenerated to accusations of heresy, excommunications, fist-fights, “blockades” of monasteries, and attacks by armed soldiers upon unarmed monks. All due to one or two simple, but to some people scandalous, phrases.

__________________________________
1 In later Judaism, veneration of the divine name reached such heights that it came to be considered unpronounceable except in very special circumstances by priests. The Hebrew scribes could not even bear to write a passage where the name of God was insulted by someone else, so in such cases they actually changed the text; e.g., where Job’s wife says, “Curse God and die!” all extant Hebrew manuscripts now read “Bless God and die!” (Jb 2:9)

2 To my knowledge the best presentation of the historical and theological background to this prayer is Irenee Hausherr’s The Name of Jesus. For briefer presentations oriented more toward practical aspects of its use and written by Eastern Orthodox authors, see Ware, The Power of the Name and Gillet, The Jesus Prayer.

THE NAME OF GOD
The true name of God, or of gods, is a closely guarded secret in many cultures, if indeed it is known at all. The real names of many Egyptian deities were never divulged.

Observant Jews do not pronounce the divine name as it occurred in the Hebrew of the Old Testament. It was written with four consonants, YHWH (the tetragrammaton), vowel points not being written in pre-Masoretic Hebrew. In reading aloud, the forms ’Adonai or ’Elohim are substituted. The form Yahweh is a scholarly attempt at reconstruction, interpreting its meaning as part of the verb ‘to be’, to give the title ‘the One who is’.

The name Jehovah has been traced back only to the 14th century; it is reached by inserting the vowels of ’Adonai under the tetragrammaton, and by Christian scholars of the two sources as one word.

It is thus not of Scriptural origin, and the true pronunciation of YHWH is now quite lost.
David Crystal; The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language; 2nd ed.; 1997; p9; [9/2023]

Psalm 110 shows that YHWH does not refer to Jesus exclusively, but is a generalized title or epithet, or can be understood to refer to the Father, the first person of the Trinity.

Yahweh [Hebrew: YHWH] says to my Lord [Hebrew: Adoni]:
“Sit at My right hand
Until I put Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”
Yahweh will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,
“Have dominion in the midst of Your enemies.”
[…]

Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord is at Your right hand;
He will crush kings in the day of His anger.
[…]

Legacy Standard Bible; 2022; [9/2023]

2- Titles are not personal names, nor are personal names titles.
Titles can be referred to as names, but personal names cannot be called titles. A personal name applies to a specific unique object, person or idea. A title designates a position which can be filled by a Named object, person or idea.

3- Names do not have to have meanings.
A name can be created out of whole cloth. Once its referent is designated, then that is its name by mutual agreement.
Example of a name with no meaning: Naisha
Example of a name with a meaning: Jesus=Savior.

4- A title must have a meaning, otherwise it is of no use. The word President has a specific meaning (chief executive, boss, leader), although it might not have a particular referent.

5- Entities that are given names:-
      Objects
      Places
      Events
      People
      Ideas
      Organizations
      Languages
      Relationships
      Colors
      Sounds
      Software
      Offices

6 - Examples of Proper Names.
       person: George Washington
       place: Boston
       thing: Plymouth Rock

7- A Title can refer to a Person, Place or Thing.
      person: President
      place: City
      thing: Rock

8- “God” is a Title and Not a Personal or Proper Name.

The fact that you can discuss the proposition ‘God exists’ is a proof that ‘God’, as used in that proposition, is a description and not a name. If ‘God’ were a name, no question as to existence could arise.
Bertrand Russell; (1872-1970); The Philosophy of Logical Atomism; 1918; in Logic and Knowledge; R. C. Marsh; ed.; 1988; p250. [Retrieved 5-26-13.]

This name God is an appellative name, and not a proper name…
Thomas Aquinas; Summa Theologica ; Part I; Q 13; Article 9

Just as an introduction to a person involves a disclosure of his personal name, so God’s self-revelation in history is accompanied by the giving of his personal name, by which his people may worship and address him as “Thou.” Thus God’s name signifies the personal relation between God and people, which is the supreme characteristic of biblical faith.
For unless the god’s name were known, it was impossible to enter into relationship with him and invoke him in worship.
In modern usage, names are convenient labels by which we differentiate one thing from another, one person from another.
[…] it could also be said soberly of anyone that his name is his very self. Thus when a radical change in a person’s character took place so that he became a new man, he was given a new name. Abram’s name was changed to Abraham […]
B. W. Anderson; God, Names of; The Interpreter’s Dictionary of the Bible; 1962

9- “God” is an ambiguous term unless it is correctly defined. Since nothing in particular can be known about God, if God is not the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, then it is an idol. God must be defined in relation to Christ and no one else, since He is the sole individual authorized and able to reveal God’s nature.

10- In the end, the referent of a name is what is of value, not the name itself. A human being might legally change his name to “Lord Jesus Christ,” but its referent is only a human with no eternal significance. “Lord Jesus Christ” referring to the Second person of the Trinity is an eternally valid name, and its referent is of supreme importance.

11- The way the name of Jesus is pronounced in different languages varies widely.

English: Jesus Christ
Armenian: He-sous Kris-dos
Arabic: Ya-soogh al Ma-seeh

Maori of New Zealand: Ko Ihu Karaiti, to matou Ariki (Jesus Christ, our Lord.)
Chinese: Yesu Jidu (Jesus Christ)
Scottish Gaelic: Iosa Criosd

Vietnamese: Chua Giesu
Georgian: ieso
Irish: Iosa


What determines the correct referent of these diverse pronunciations to each human’s mind is the task of the Holy Spirit Himself.
Because no one is able to pronounce Jesus’s name in the exact way that it needs to be pronounced, the Holy Spirit “transforms” our words into and correctly references our imperfect words into the perfect name of our Lord.

***Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

12- In the case of the name of the second person of the Trinity, “Jesus Christ,” knowledge of the referent is supplied by the Third person of the Trinity. In this case, due to the fact that it is a name which is unknowable to any human, its knowledge must be a divine revelation, a divine gift. We are at God’s mercy for the knowledge of the referent of the name “Jesus Christ.”

13- “Jesus Christ” is a name, the name of the second person of the Trinity. We have Not been given the names of the first person (God the Father) and the third person (The Holy Spirit) of the Trinity. We know them by their Titles only.

14- “Jesus Christ” is the only name given among men by which we must be saved. It is the only name, the sole truth that we know about God. All other predications about God can be applied to any other god.

15- “Jesus Christ is Lord” is the sole eternal truth that is available to mankind at the present time. That truth is all that is needed to cross from spiritual death to spiritual life.

And there was great joy amongst them,
And they blessed and glorified and extolled,
Because the name of that Son of Man had been revealed unto them.
The Book of Enoch; R. H. Charles; trans.; 1917/1991; p92

16- The first recorded act of Adam was to name the animals which God brought to him. Shortly after, he named his wife Woman and Eve.

17- It has been said that all we do is name things. When we speak, we are giving names to objects and people around us, our thoughts, and other imaginary ideas such as numbers.

18- Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things; i.e. when we say Two apples, or Two cars, we are giving the same name, Two, to a collection of diverse objects, apples and cars. Most people are not aware that there exists no property of Two-ness because the number Two is an imaginary concept. Number terms are names that we give to non-existent impossibilities because numbers do not exist, and could not exist.

19- Poetry is the art of giving different names to the same thing: beautiful, aromatic, colorful flowers. All the adjectives are names being given to the same object, a flower, which is itself a name.

20- Names refer to unique beings, thus they may need to be altered (first, middle, last, Sr., Jr.) to differentiate between multiple persons with the same name.

21- Titles do not refer to any person in particular but refer to Positions of Office. A position that is, or is to be, occupied by a person with a proper name. Usually there is only one of each position in an organization. There is no need to alter titles. In contrast, there can be more than one person with the same name in an organization̶– in that case a nickname or middle initial is used to differentiate between the persons.

22- The Bible uses the term “name” both literally and figuratively. That is, it does not differentiate between “name” as a Title and “name” as a Proper Name.

23- The word Title is used twice only, in the NT, to refer to the sign that was placed on the cross by Pontius Pilate.

24- A person is usually named by his or her parents. But there have been many instances where persons have chosen new names for themselves after becoming adults. There are also times when a person takes on a name or a nickname that his devotees or even his detractors have given him (a sobriquet), which may become better known than his original given name.

25- A person can have, willingly or unwillingly, more than one name by which others refer to him. That is, different people can know the same person by different names, to the extent that they are unaware of the person’s other name(s).

26- Unless a person is a public figure, his name is personal information and not something that is outwardly apparent until he decides to publicize his name by wearing a name tag or announcing his name in public. When two or more strangers meet, they must reveal their names to each. There would be no point in trying to guess a stranger’s name.

27- Everyone must have a unique name to be distinguished from those around him. Even material objects are given names when it becomes necessary to differentiate between multiple units of that object.

28- Imaginary ideas, like numbers and geometric shapes, are given names even though they do not exist. It is an essential part of communication that we give names to objects, people and ideas, to be able to talk about them.

29-a- Whenever a proper name is used by a speaker who believes that he is referring to a real individual in using the name, he must suppose that he possesses an identifying description of the individual to whom he is referring, and must intend to be referring to the individual whom this description denotes.
-b- He will refer successfully if and only if there is exactly one individual identifiable in the way he supposes, in which case that individual will be the one he is speaking about.
-c- If a name is in use in a community as a name of a certain individual, there need be no means of identifying that individual available to all members of the community, or to any member at all times.
-d- Proper names are rigid designators.
Harold Noonan; Names and Belief; Proc. of the Aristotelian Soc.; v81, 1981; p93

30- In the Old Testament, the words name, proper name and title are not differentiated. Thus when it uses the word “name” in reference to God, the term cannot be taken literally because “God” is not a Proper Name. There are seven “names” in the OT for “God.” We can see that none of them are Proper Names, but are titles or descriptions or epithets of the Deity.
Elohim = God = Title >> Represents His Unchangeable Love
Jehovah = Lord = Epithet/Title >> Represents His righteousness and Truth
Adonai = Lord = Title >> Master and possessor of all creation
El Shaddai = God Almighty = Title/characteristic >> Giver of Himself to others
El Elyon = Most High God = Title/characteristic >> Most High yet of a kindred nature with mankind.
El Olam = Everlasting God = Title/characteristic
Jehovah Sabaoth = Lord of Hosts = Epithet/Title/characteristic

God does not have a Proper Name in the Old Covenant.
The Proper Name of the second person of the trinity was revealed only after His incarnation.
(See The Names of God by Andrew Jukes)

Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name or His son’s name?
Surely you know!
Proverbs 30:4 NIV

31- A few of the Titles that are used for Jesus in the New Testament.
Son of David
Son of Abraham
Emmanuel
The Son of the Living God
The Holy One of God
The Son of Man (John 5:27)
The King of the Jews
The Word
The Son of God (Luke 1:35; John 1:49)
The Lamb of God (John 1:29)
Messiah
Lord of All (Acts 10:36) 
The Lord of Glory
The Head of the Body
The Truth
True God (1 John 5:20)
(See Names of Christ by Horton & Hurlburt)

32- One way to evaluate the importance of a word in a language is to see its numerous synonyms .
Below are listed over a dozen synonyms for the word “name.”
Appellation - Name, title or designation.
Byname - A secondary name, surname.
Cognomen - A name indicating the person’s house or family.
Denomination - A name, especially one for a class of things.
Designation - Act of pointing out.
Epithet - Descriptive name for a person or thing, a characterizing word or phrase.
Eponym - One whose name becomes the name of a place.
Handle - Slang for a person’s given name, an alias or code name.
Identification - Treating of a thing as the same as another.
Label - A short word or phrase descriptive of a person.
Moniker - A nickname or an alias.
Nickname - Informal title.
Rubric - Title in red.
Sign - To set a mark upon.
Sobriquet - A jest, a quip, a nickname.
Tag - A descriptive word or phrase, initials, monogram, symbol.

33- A person’s name does not have to be public knowledge for that person to be noticed or identified by the public. He can be recognized solely by his Title accompanied by unique personal features.

34- A person whose unique personal attributes have been described previously can be referenced by his personal name or his title. Jesus referring to the first person of the Trinity as “Father” is referencing one person in particular, but that does not make “father” a personal name. (“The present king of England” references a unique person, but that title is not a personal name.)

The word “Father” is a generic term that can apply to any father. We differentiate between fathers by listing certain of their unique personal attributes. “Father” designates a role in a family, and in eastern culture, the highest role.

If a role or category did not exist for the Father, then we would have no way of knowing who “Father” is referencing. In fact, we know about the “Father” by His role and other of His unique attributes. The word “Father” on its own tells us little of value, since it is a title and not a personal name, even if Jesus is using that word to reference one person.

35- A very reliable way of distinguishing between Titles and Names is to see if the word is Translated or Transliterated into another language. In English we translate “Abba” as “Father,” the literal meaning of the Aramaic “Abba.” But in the case of the personal name “Jesus,” we transliterate it and do not translate it. We try to find a word as close to the pronunciation of “Jesus” in our language as possible.

In Armenian, we translate “father” to its literal meaning:- Hayr . But we transliterate “Jesus” to “Hesous ,” very close to its Greek pronunciation, which is itself a transliteration of “Yeshua” in Aramaic.

Exceptions can be found where a Title is in such common use and which applies to such a unique position, that it takes on the nature of a personal name. One such word is the Title “Caesar.” Even though in Latin it means a tyrant or ruler, in most of the Indo-European languages, it has been Transliterated and not Translated .
       Latin = Caesar
       German = Kaiser

36- We use the word “name” both literally and figuratively, thus when we baptize in the “name” of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the word “name” is not meant literally. After all, neither “Father”, nor “Son” nor “Holy Spirit” is a personal name.

37- The disciples Preached in His Name.
The disciples Baptized in His Name.
The disciples Healed in His Name.
The disciples Prayed in His Name.
Signs followed in His Name.
Do all things in His Name. (Col. 3:17)

38- A metaphorical use of the term “name” in the Old Testament “The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Prov. 18:10)

The Nature of “Allah”

“Allah” and “Ilah” ( الله )(إله) are not proper names.
“Allah” is the Arabic word for “god/God.”
“Allah” and “God” are Titles and are NOT proper names.
Proper names reference single unique persons.
Titles do not reference unique persons.
“Aliha(t)” (الآلهة) is the plural of “Allah”, meaning gods.
The feminine of Allah, goddess, is (آلهة) Alha.

BOTH theistic Moslem Arabs and Christian Arabs call their deity, “Allah.” The term “Allah” existed before Islam was established as a religion.
Just because both Moslems and Christians use the term “Allah” to refer to the deity, it does not mean that they are worshipping the same Deity.

Since “Allah” is NOT a proper name, (just as “God” is not a proper name,) neither word references a particular unique being, as would a proper name. “Jesus” is a proper name as it refers to a single unique person.

In this context, it is very important to understand the difference between Proper names and Titles.

Thus we can conclude that “Allah/God” are titles of office. We cannot tell which deity one is referencing by just claiming to believe in “God/Allah.” There can be and there is only ONE true Deity, but there are innumerable gods, false gods, idols, worshiped by those who do not want to know the only true God.

Is Allah the same as the Christian God?

Since the word Allah/God is a title and is not a proper name, the only way to know if Allah is meant to be the Christian God is to first define what one means by Allah/God.

Allah is the Arabic word for God. But every religion calls their deity God, but we know that the God of all religions cannot be the same God. Each one’s God is different than the other’s God. Each God commands its adhetents to believe and behave differently. These differences cause religious wars.

Just because someone says that they believe in God does not mean that they are talking about the same deity.

The moslem Allah/God is different than the Christian God/Allah.

Moslem Arabs call their deity Allah. Christian Arabs call their deity Allah. But each one has a different deity in mind. The two should not be confused as there are radically different attributes between them.

Arabic does not have Upper Case letters.
In Arabic, there is no way to differnetiate between “god” and “God.” This simple difference in symbolism can give very different meanings to words. This fact must be kept in mind when dealing with the words “god” and “God.”

Allah
Allah is the Arabic proper name [Allah is a Title and is NOT a proper name] for the monotheistic deity central to Islam, conceptualized as the singular, omnipotent creator and sustainer of the universe who is eternal, self-sufficient, and incomparable to any other being.[1][2] The term derives from the contraction of al-ilāh, meaning “the deity” or “the God,” and was employed in pre-Islamic Arabia to designate a supreme creator figure, albeit within a polytheistic framework where Allah was invoked alongside subordinate gods and goddesses, such as the alleged “daughters of Allah” rejected by Islamic doctrine.[2][3][4] Islamic theology, as articulated in the Quran— exemplified by Surah Al-Ikhlas— emphasizes tawhid, the absolute oneness of Allah, affirming that He neither begets nor is begotten and has no equivalents, thereby purging pre-Islamic associations and establishing strict monotheism as the faith’s foundational principle.[1][5] Prior to Islam, the word “Allah” was also used by Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians to denote the God of their Abrahamic traditions, underscoring its linguistic role as the standard Arabic term for the divine rather than an exclusively Islamic innovation.[6][7]

Linguistic and Etymological Origins

Etymology and Derivation
The word Allāh (Arabic: ٱللَّٰهُ ) is derived from the contraction of the Arabic phrase al-ilāh ( الإله ), where al- is the definite article “the” and ilāh means “deity” or “god,” literally rendering “the God” or “the deity.”[2] This contraction occurred through the assimilation of the l sound in al- to the initial l of ilāh, with the glottal stop (hamza) in ilāh dropping in pronunciation, a common phonological process in Arabic known as idgham (assimilation).[8] The resulting form Allāh functions as a proper name [incorrect] rather than a generic noun, distinct from the inflectable ilāh used for gods in general, and its earliest attestations appear in pre-Islamic Arabic contexts as a title for a supreme creator deity.[9]

Linguistically, Allāh traces to the Proto-Semitic root ʾil-, denoting divinity or power, shared across Semitic languages.[8] Cognates include Aramaic ʾAlāhā (ܐܠܗܐ), used in Syriac Christian texts for God; Hebrew ʾĒl (אֵל) and ʾĔlōhīm (אֱלֹהִים), referring to God or gods; Ugaritic ʾil; and Akkadian ilu.[2] These derivations reflect a common Northwest Semitic heritage, where the root evolved to signify a singular, transcendent divine entity in Arabic usage, though pre-Islamic Arabs applied Allāh alongside polytheistic deities as a high god figure.[4]

Debates persist among linguists regarding the exact mechanism: while the al-ilāh contraction is the dominant theory supported by comparative Semitics, some argue Allāh entered Arabic directly as a loan from Aramaic ʾalāhā via Christian or Jewish Aramaic speakers in the Arabian Peninsula, bypassing full contraction.[9] Epigraphic evidence, such as Nabataean and South Arabian inscriptions from the 1st century CE onward, attests forms akin to Allāh as a divine name, predating Islam by centuries and confirming its non-exclusive Islamic origin. Alternative folk etymologies, like deriving it from alaha (“to worship,” implying “the worshipped one”), lack robust philological support and appear in later theological interpretations rather than historical linguistics.[10]

Pre-Islamic Linguistic Evidence
Pre-Islamic inscriptions in North Arabian scripts, such as Safaitic, provide the earliest linguistic attestation of Allāh as a proper name for a high deity among nomadic Arabs in the Syro-Jordanian Ḥarrah region, dating from the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE. These graffiti, numbering in the thousands, often invoke Allāh (lh or ʾl-lh in epigraphic form) alongside other deities, portraying it as a remote creator associated with light and opposition to death and darkness, as seen in a Safaitic text requesting Allāh to “let there be light” against existential threats. Scholarly analysis by epigraphist Ahmad Al-Jallad reconstructs Allāh’s mythology from such carvings, confirming its worship across pre-Islamic Arabia, though texts prior to recent finds offered limited theological detail.[11][12]

The Zabad inscription from northern Syria, dated to 512 CE, exemplifies transitional usage in a Christian context, commencing with b-سمʾ al-ʾlh (“in the name of al-ilāh”), where al-ilāh (“the deity”) functions as a descriptor for God amid benefactions by Arabic-speaking Christians. This trilingual (Greek, Syriac, Arabic) text over a martyrium door reflects al-ilāh as a reverential formula, bridging Semitic cognates like Syriac Alāhā with emerging Arabic proper nomenclature, and predates Islamic standardization by over a century. Similarly, the Dumat al-Jandal inscription circa 548 CE employs al-ilāh in a theophoric phrase, indicating its role as a divine epithet among pre-Islamic Arabs influenced by monotheistic communities.[13][14]

Theophoric names incorporating Allāh, such as ʿbd-ʾlh (“servant of Allāh”), appear in pre-Islamic onomastics across Nabataean and Safaitic corpora, evidencing its integration into personal nomenclature as early as the 1st century CE, distinct from generic ilāh (“god”). While polytheistic invocations pair Allāh with figures like Allāt or al-Uzzā, epigraphic patterns suggest a hierarchical supremacy, with Allāh invoked for cosmic intervention rather than local concerns. Concrete material evidence remains sparse relative to later Islamic texts, but these linguistic traces affirm Allāh as a pre-existing Arabic term for the paramount deity, not coined by Muhammad.[15][16]

Aramaic and Semitic Roots
The word Allāh in Arabic originates from the contraction of al-ilāh (“the deity”), where ilāh derives from the Proto-Semitic root ʾil-, denoting “god” or “deity,” a term attested across ancient Semitic languages including Akkadian ilu, Ugaritic ʾil, and Phoenician ʾl.[17] This root, reconstructed from comparative linguistics of Northwest and East Semitic inscriptions dating to the 2nd millennium BCE, such as those from Ebla and Ugarit, represents a generic descriptor for divine beings rather than a proper name, evolving into specific forms for the supreme god in later traditions.[18]

In Aramaic, a Northwest Semitic language closely related to Arabic and spoken widely in the Near East from the 10th century BCE onward, the cognate term is ʾilāh or ʾalāhā (ܐܠܗܐ in Syriac script), used for “God” in biblical and liturgical texts, as seen in the Aramaic portions of the Book of Daniel (e.g., Daniel 2:47, rendering ʾĕlāh for the divine).[19] This form parallels Allāh phonetically and morphologically, with the Aramaic emphatic state ʾilāhā mirroring the Arabic definite article assimilation, reflecting shared Proto-Semitic morphology where the root ʾ-l-h or ʾ-l extends the basic ʾil- to emphasize singularity or uniqueness.[20] Linguistic evidence from Syriac Christian texts, such as the Peshitta translation of the Bible completed by the 5th century CE, consistently employs Alāhā for the Hebrew ʾĕlōhīm, underscoring the term’s pre-Islamic continuity in monotheistic Aramaic-speaking communities adjacent to Arabia.[9]

Comparative Semitic studies highlight that while Allāh incorporates the Arabic definite article al-, its core aligns with Aramaic Alāhā without implying direct borrowing; instead, both descend independently from the common ancestral root, as confirmed by reconstructed Proto-Semitic paradigms avoiding anachronistic derivations like Arabic-to-Aramaic influence given Aramaic’s earlier attestation in epigraphy.[21] This etymological linkage, supported by phonological correspondences (e.g., retention of the laryngeal ḥ in emphatic forms), demonstrates Allāh’s embedding in a millennia-old Semitic divine nomenclature, distinct from later theological accretions.[22]

Historical Development

Pre-Islamic Arabia
In pre-Islamic Arabia, during the period known as Jahiliyyah spanning roughly the 5th to 7th centuries CE, polytheistic practices predominated among Arab tribes, yet Allah was widely recognized as the supreme creator deity presiding over a pantheon of lesser gods, goddesses, and spirits. Tribes invoked Allah in oaths and poetry as the ultimate arbiter of fate, rain, and victory, viewing him as distant yet sovereign, with lesser deities serving as intercessors rather than equals.[23][24] This henotheistic framework is evidenced in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry, where poets like Zuhayr ibn Abi Sulma (ca. 520–609 CE) praised Allah as the “Lord of the Kaaba” and controller of human affairs, distinct from idol worship.[24]

Archaeological inscriptions provide direct attestation of Allah’s veneration. North Arabian graffiti in Safaitic and Hismaic scripts from the 1st to 4th centuries CE mention Allah alongside invocations for protection or curses, portraying him as a high god associated with creation and light, as in an early inscription linking him to cosmic origins far from Mecca.[25] A late 2nd-century CE inscription explicitly references Allah without shared shrines for other deities, indicating localized monolatrous worship.[26] Proto-Arabic inscriptions from the mid-6th century CE, such as one from al-Jawf, blend Christian elements with Allah’s name, suggesting continuity in usage among Arabic-speaking communities before Islam’s emergence.[27]

In Mecca, the Quraysh tribe— dominant by the late 6th century CE— associated the Kaaba with Allah as its “Lord,” though the sanctuary housed up to 360 idols, including Hubal as a prominent effigy for divination and oaths. Following their victory in the Battle of Fijar (ca. 565 CE), the Quraysh adopted the title ahl Allah (“people of Allah”), reflecting his elevated status amid pilgrimage rituals that mixed supplications to him with offerings to subordinate entities like al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat, whom polytheists regarded as his “daughters.”[28] Names like Abdullah (servant of Allah), borne by Muhammad’s father in the late 6th century CE, underscore Allah’s pre-Islamic prominence among Quraysh elites.

This pre-Islamic conception of Allah emphasized his transcendence and role in natural phenomena, such as sending rain or determining tribal success, but lacked exclusive worship, as Arabs sought mediation through idols and sacred stones for proximate needs.[23] Scholarly analysis of these sources highlights Allah’s distinction from lunar or astral deities claimed in some polemical accounts, with epigraphic evidence favoring a creator-god profile rooted in Semitic traditions rather than syncretic paganism.[25][29]

Early Islamic Period
In the early Islamic period, spanning the prophethood of Muhammad from 610 CE to the establishment of the Umayyad Caliphate around 661 CE, the concept of Allah crystallized through Quranic revelations as the singular, transcendent creator and sovereign of the universe, rejecting pre-Islamic associations of partners or progeny with Him. The first revelation in 610 CE in the Cave of Hira commanded Muhammad to “Recite in the name of your Lord who created,” positioning Allah as the originator of humanity from a clot of blood and emphasizing His creative agency without intermediaries.[30] Subsequent Meccan surahs, revealed between 610 and 622 CE amid opposition from polytheistic tribes, repeatedly affirmed Allah’s oneness (tawhid), as in Surah Al-Ikhlas (Quran 112): “Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him,” directly countering claims of divine daughters like al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat attributed to Allah in pre-Islamic lore. This doctrinal shift enforced exclusive worship, prohibiting intercession by lesser beings and framing Allah as the “Lord of the Worlds” (Rabb al-Alamin), a title underscoring universal dominion over creation in six days, including heavens, earth, and what lies between.[30][31]

Quranic theology portrayed Allah with attributes of mercy (rahman and rahim, invoked in nearly every surah’s opening), justice, and omniscience, while early Medinan revelations post-622 CE integrated communal practices like the five daily prayers directed solely to Allah, redirecting the Kaaba from idolatrous veneration to monotheistic focus.[31] Hadith attributed to Muhammad, such as those in Sahih Bukhari, depict Allah’s primordial existence before creation: “First of all, there was nothing but Allah, and (then He created His Throne). His throne was over the water,” aligning with Quranic cosmogony and reinforcing anthropomorphic restraint by avoiding physical form while ascribing actions like writing destinies in a heavenly book.[32] These traditions, orally transmitted initially and later compiled, supported the rejection of corporealism, though some early narrations suggest interpretive flexibility later formalized in theological schools. The Rashidun Caliphs (632–661 CE), succeeding Muhammad, upheld this framework during rapid expansions into Byzantine and Sasanian territories, where Allah was proclaimed as the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, sans trinitarian divisions, fostering conversions through military and missionary efforts without altering core attributes.[33] Scholarly analyses note that while the Quran’s 2,698 invocations of Allah dwarf other names like “Lord” (al-Rabb, 980 times), this emphasis served to unify disparate Arabian tribes under a non-tribal deity, though academic debates persist on whether early understandings incorporated residual Semitic influences or purely revelatory innovation.[31]

Medieval and Modern Usage
In medieval Islamic scholarship, the term Allah served as the definitive proper name for the monotheistic deity in theological, philosophical, and mystical texts, emphasizing attributes like absolute unity (tawhid) and transcendence. Theologians of the Ash’arite school, founded by Abu al-Hasan al-Ash’ari (d. 936 CE), employed Allah to articulate a defense against Mu’tazilite rationalism, positing that divine attributes— such as speech and knowledge— are eternal realities subsisting in Allah’s essence without compromising unity, as evidenced in al-Ash’ari’s Kitab al-Luma’. This framework influenced subsequent kalam (speculative theology), where Allah denoted a being whose will overrides secondary causes, countering Aristotelian influences.[34]

Philosophers integrated Allah into metaphysical systems; Ibn Sina (Avicenna, 980–1037 CE) described Allah as wajib al-wujud (Necessary Existent), whose self-subsistent essence necessitates the emanation of intellects and the universe in a hierarchical chain, without temporal creation, as detailed in his Al-Shifa’. This view portrayed Allah’s knowledge as encompassing universals rather than particulars, sparking debates on divine omniscience. Al-Ghazali (1058–1111 CE) critiqued this in Tahafut al-Falasifa (Incoherence of the Philosophers), arguing that emanation implies necessity over volition, violating Quranic depictions of Allah’s free acts like creating the world in six days; he advocated occasionalism, where Allah directly sustains every event, rendering natural laws illusory.[34] Such discourses solidified Allah’s usage as a referent for an omnipotent, willful entity beyond rational deduction alone.[34]

In Sufi traditions, medieval authors like al-Ghazali in Ihya’ Ulum al-Din (Revival of Religious Sciences, c. 1106 CE) invoked Allah in practices of remembrance (dhikr) and spiritual ascent, portraying divine nearness through love and annihilation of self (fana), while warning against pantheistic conflations.[35] This mystical dimension expanded Allah’s literary role in poetry and hagiography, as in Jalaluddin Rumi’s Masnavi (13th century), where Allah symbolizes the beloved whose attributes manifest in creation yet remain inscrutable.

In the modern period (post-18th century), Allah retains its centrality in Islamic orthodoxy, appearing in foundational creeds like the Shahada and over 2,700 Quranic mentions, with usage standardized in global liturgy, education, and media. Reformists such as Muhammad Abduh (1849–1905) reaffirmed Allah’s rational compatibility with science, interpreting attributes like omnipotence as harmonious with causality, countering colonial-era secularism while upholding scriptural primacy over medieval philosophy.[34] Salafi movements, revived by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792), emphasize literal adherence to early sources, rejecting interpretive liberties (ta’wil) in Allah’s names to preserve transcendence, influencing Saudi curricula and Wahhabi theology that views anthropomorphism as innovation (bid’ah).[36]

Legal controversies highlight contested exclusivity; in Malaysia, a 1986 government directive barred non-Muslims from using Allah in publications to prevent doctrinal confusion, upheld by a 2014 appeals court ruling (4–1) that Allah denotes the Islamic deity with specific attributes like indivisibility, citing 10 Quranic verses and risks to Muslim youth amid rising conversions.[37] [38] This reflects broader modern assertions in some jurisdictions that Allah encapsulates tawhid-exclusive theology, distinct from trinitarian concepts, though linguistically derived from al-ilah (the deity).[8] In digital and political spheres, Allah features in state symbols (e.g., Saudi flag’s Shahada since 1973) and Islamist rhetoric, underscoring its role in identity amid globalization.[37]

JUSTIN MARTYR
(100-165 AD)

THE SECOND APOLOGY OF JUSTIN FOR THE CHRISTIANS ADDRESSED TO THE ROMAN SENATE

CHAPTER VI

NAMES OF GOD AND OF CHRIST, THEIR MEANING AND POWER.

But to the Father of all, who is unbegotten, there is no name given. For by whatever name He be called, He has as His elder the person who gives Him the name.

But these words, Father, and God, and Creator, and Lord, and Master, are not names, but appellations derived from His good deeds and functions.

And His Son, who alone is properly called Son, the Word, who also was with Him and was begotten before the works, when at first He created and arranged all things by Him, is called Christ, in reference to His being anointed and God’s ordering all things through Him; this name itself also containing an unknown significance; as also the appellation “God” is not a name , but an opinion implanted in the nature of men of a thing that can hardly be explained.

But “Jesus,” His name as man and Savior, has also significance. For He was made man also, as we before said, having been conceived according to the will of God the Father, for the sake of believing men, and for the destruction of the demons.

And now you can learn this from what is under your own observation. For numberless demoniacs throughout the whole world, and in your city, many of our Christian men exorcising them in the name of Jesus Christ , who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, have healed and do heal, rendering helpless and driving the possessing devils out of the men, though they could not be cured by all the other exorcists, and those who used incantations and drugs.
