Conceptions of God can vary widely, but the word God in
English—and its counterparts in other languages, such as
Latinate Deus, Greek Θεός, Slavic Bog, Sanskrit Ishvara,
or Arabic Allah—are normally used for any and all
conceptions. The same holds for Hebrew El, but in Judaism
God is also given a proper name, the tetragrammaton
(usually reconstructed as Yahweh or YHWH), believed to
hark back to the religion's henotheistic origins. In the
Bible, when the word "LORD" is in all capitals, it signifies
that the word represents the tetragrammaton.God may
also be given a proper name in monotheistic currents of
Hinduism which emphasize the personal nature of God
with early references to his name as Krishna-Vasudeva
in Bhagavata or later Vishnu and Hari, or recently
Shakti. It is difficult to draw a line between proper names
and epitheta of God, such as the names and titles of Jesus
in the New Testament, the names of God in the Qur'an
and the various lists of the thousand names of Hindu gods
and List of titles and names of Krishna in Vaishnavism
Throughout the Bible there are many names for God that
portray his nature and character. Elohim means “strong
one.” It is especially used of God’s sovereignty, creative
work, mighty work for Israel and in relation to his
sovereignty;El Shaddai means “God Almighty”; El Elyon means “The Most High God” and stresses God’s strength, sovereignty, and supremacy.
