Arabic (الله) name of God. The name is derived from the Arabic article (الـ) [Al] - "the" + (إِلٰه) [Ilyah] - "God".
Name Allah can`t be used as a given name, it used as a title or as a name-giving component. Also in Islam the names are used to denote God; Ahad, Rabb, Rahim, Rahman, Salam, Khaliq and Hayy.
The word Al-Ilyah was also known to the ancient Semites (modern Arabs and Jews). The ancient Semites called God - Eloh/Elohim. In the Arabic translation of the Bible, the word "God" is also translated as "Allah".
