what is gods name
All bow to His Noodly Appendage, The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
It generally depends on religion, in the Old Testament there are many names that some use for God, but a careful reading will tell you that its the scripture itself that is the "Name" of God, He is also referred to as "father" by the prophets and Christ.
In the bible (Kings James Version) is states "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." Knowing that "God" is almighty, I guess most people recognize his name as Jehovah :p
Yahweh, Jehovah, I AM, Almighty God, Holy of Holies etc
The statement there's no greater name then "Christ" is why when the KJB was published they still used the name "Jesus" which is Latin, the English name would be "Joshua". Again the confusion is what one means by name, my father used to tell me what's in your name is what you put into it like your reputation. If all one needed was the name Jehovah and/or Jesus then all scriptures would of died out long ago, the scriptures is the character your to take on to worship your Deities.
Jehovah is the name of god.
God refers to himself as the I Am. God NEVER says that He is God. The Alpha and The Omega. Beginning and End. He is Yawheh, the Divine. That is His name.
If you read Revelations chapter 1 you'll discover there are two Alpha Omega's which I call my Lords. As for Yahweh it's a 19th century enunciation of the tetragrammaton, YHWH, YHVH, the difference between the is German has no letter corresponding for W, Jehovah is a German pronunciation. The actual pronunciation for God the father is really not known and was only uttered by the High Priest once a year on Yom Kipper.
Allah
Allah is the true name for god............ Written in Qur'an, Bibble, Turait and in Injeel
According to my information Allah is just as generic as God, supposedly with the same meaning. I know Islam uses the Koran as their sacred scriptures describing how man should relate to Allah, God, but they also use the sacred scriptures of ancient Jews and Christians. The question I have is Allah actually an Arab word for God not a name?
In my personal religion the name of God is Jehovah. The 1 true almighty god.
@dejmccray So many people know Jehovah's name!
I know @xo.minnie.xox to so cool

Jesus is the individual name of the Savior, and as thus spelled is of Greek derivation; its Hebrew equivalent was Yehoshua or Yeshua, or, as we render it in English, Joshua. In the original the name was well understood as meaning "Help of Jehovah", or "Savior". Though as common an appellation as John or Henry or Charles today, the name was nevertheless divinely prescribed, as already stated. Thus, unto Joseph, the espoused husband of the Virgin, the angel said, "And thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."[82] Christ is a sacred title, and not an ordinary appellation or common name; it is of Greek derivation, and in meaning[Pg 36] is identical with its Hebrew equivalent Messiah or Messias, signifying the Anointed One.[83] Other titles, each possessing a definitive meaning, such as Emmanuel, Savior, Redeemer, Only Begotten Son, Lord, Son of God, Son of Man, and many more, are of scriptural occurrence; the fact of main present importance to us is that these several titles are expressive of our Lord's divine origin and Godship. As seen, the essential names or titles of Jesus the Christ were made known before His birth, and were revealed to prophets who preceded Him in the mortal state.[84] Jehovah is the Anglicized rendering of the Hebrew, Yahveh or Jahveh, signifying the Self-existent One, or The Eternal. This name is generally rendered in our English version of the Old Testament as LORD, printed in capitals.[85] The Hebrew, Ehyeh, signifying I Am, is related in meaning and through derivation with the term Yahveh or Jehovah; and herein lies the significance of this name by which the Lord revealed Himself to Moses when the latter received the commission to go into Egypt and deliver the children of Israel from bondage: "Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."[86] In the succeeding verse the Lord declares Himself to be "the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." While Moses was in Egypt, the Lord further revealed Himself, saying "I am the LORD: and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto[Pg 37] Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."[87] The central fact connoted by this name, I Am, or Jehovah, the two having essentially the same meaning, is that of existence or duration that shall have no end, and which, judged by all human standards of reckoning, could have had no beginning; the name is related to such other titles as Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.[88] Jesus, when once assailed with question and criticism from certain Jews who regarded their Abrahamic lineage as an assurance of divine preferment, met their abusive words with the declaration: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am".[89] The true significance of this saying would be more plainly expressed were the sentence punctuated and pointed as follows: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham, was I AM;" which means the same as had He said---Before Abraham, was I, Jehovah. The captious Jews were so offended at hearing Him use a name which, through an erroneous rendering of an earlier scripture,[90] they held was not to be uttered on pain of death, that they immediately took up stones with the intent of killing Him. The Jews regarded Jehovah as an ineffable name, not to be spoken; they substituted for it the sacred, though to them the not-forbidden name, Adonai, signifying the Lord. The original of the terms Lord and God as they appear in the Old Testament, was either Yahveh or Adonai; and the divine Being designated by these sacred names was, as shown by the scriptures cited, Jesus the Christ. John, evangelist and apostle, positively identifies Jesus Christ with Adonai, or the Lord who spoke through the voice of Isaiah,[91] and with Jehovah who spoke through Zechariah The name Elohim is of frequent occurrence in the Hebrew texts of the Old Testament, though it is not found in our English versions. In form the word is a Hebrew plural noun;[93] but it connotes the plurality of excellence or intensity, rather than distinctively of number. It is expressive of supreme or absolute exaltation and power. Elohim, as understood and used in the restored Church of Jesus Christ, is the name-title of God the Eternal Father, whose firstborn Son in the spirit is Jehovah---the Only Begotten in the flesh, Jesus Christ. (Exerpt from "Jesus the Christ" written by James E. Talmage)
His name is Jesus c:
God is Yahuwah, Elohim, El Elyon, Adonai, Ruach Hakodesh, Yeshua HaMashiach. The Hebrew names. God is not Allah, sorry, but there is so much evidence to support that God and Allah are two completely separate deities. For one, Allah can't have children God has Jesus, also known as Yeshua. God teaches to love everyone, no not bisexuality, but acceptance and mercy for all people, versus Islam which teaches to kill all infidels, which are unbelievers.
