Well, that depends on which of millions of Gods you are asking about. In fact, anything or anyone that is worshiped can be termed a god, inasmuch as the worshiper attributes to it might greater than his own and venerates it.
At 1 John 5:19, The Bible speaks of "the wicked one" as the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:3,4) and he has a multitude of names, but is most commonly known as the Devil or Satan.
There are also many other false gods identified by their personal names in the Bible, such as Baal, Artemis, Marduk (Marodach), Bel, Shamash, Dagon, Molech,, etc., as well as well-known gods of today, such as Brahma, Vishnu, Siva. Allah, etc.
However, if you are asking about the only true God of the Christian faith, his personal name is mentioned almost 7000 times in the holy scriptures alone. The Anglicized (English) form of his name is Jehovah. See Psalm 83:18, also Romans 10:13 and John 17:26. In the Hebrew language, it is most commonly written Yahweh, in Spanish - Jehova', in Italian - Geova, in Swahili - Yehova, in Maori - Ihowa, in Japanese - Ehoba, in Polish - Jehowa, in Portuguese - Jeová, in Romanian - Iehova, . . . you get the point.
All of these spellings were derived from the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew letters used for the name of the true God: YHVH or JVHV, found in the original Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts of the Bible.
But, then, you may wonder, why do so many people, even clergy, not know or not choose to use God's personal name?
Briefly, during the 2nd or 3rd century, Jewish scribes substituted the words Kyrios (Lord) and Theos (God) for the divine name, Jehovah, in copies of the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. Other translations, such as the Latin Vulgate, the Douay Version, and the authorized King James Version, as well as numerous modern translations (NE, AT, RS, NIV, TEV, NAB), followed a similar practice. The divine name was almost totally replaced by the terms "GOD" and "LORD," generally in all-capital letters in English to indicate the substitution for the divine name. How sad.
