Is God a name

Answer 1

No, 'god' is a title, like 'mother' or 'father' or 'king'.....

God's name is often recorded at Psalms 83:18, if not in the verse, then in the footnote of many Bibles.

Additional Thoughts:

In The Bible he is known by several different names all meaning one, strong, I Am, etc. These names are used to help people connect with him on a personal level but are not necessarily his actual name, but just names given to him by man.

God's name isn't god. It is YodHayWawHay (YHWH). We are accustomed to calling him GOD because it has been passed down from generations, but the word god was actually derived by the Pagans, who used the name to worship their deities, or idols. Their is only one mighty being which is the Creator and he is my GOD.

The reason of your question is because in many Bibles God's name has been removed.

"Jehovah" (Heb., יהוה, YHWH), God's personal name, first occurs in Ge 2:4. The divine name is a verb, the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Hebrew verb הוה (ha·wah′, "to become"). Therefore, the divine name means "He Causes to Become." This reveals Jehovah as the One who, with progressive action, causes himself to become the Fulfiller of promises, the One who always brings his purposes to realization. The greatest indignity that modern translators render to the Divine Author of the Holy Scriptures is the removal or the concealing of his peculiar personal name. Actually his name occurs in the Hebrew text 6,828 times as יהוה (YHWH or JHVH), generally referred to as the Tetragrammaton (literally meaning "having four letters"). Many have substituted His name with titles such as "Lord," "the Lord," "Adonai" or "God" for the divine name, the Tetragrammaton.

Today, apart from a few fragments of the early Greek Septuagint where the sacred name is preserved in Hebrew, only the Hebrew text has retained this most important name in its original form of four letters, יהוה (YHWH), the exact pronunciation of which has not been preserved. Current circulating texts of the Greek Septuagint (LXX), Syriac Peshitta(Sy) and Latin Vulgate (Vg) substitute the mere title "Lord" for God's unique name.

Another answer:

The name god is like the names daddy, mummy, baby, son, daughter, brother and sister where these names are sometimes used as individual names also. Some parents call their children baby when speaking to them or about them. Some also call their children by the name son/daughter. Some siblings refer to each other by using the name brother or sister and they call their parents by the name daddy or mummy.

So the fact is that the word god is similar to the words mummy and daddy. The name of god however depends on whatever men who have created various religions in their own image and likeness has assigned to their supreme deity (Zeus, Jehovah, Yhwh, Allah, Krishna, etc).

Answer 2

"God" is a title or term used to refer to a supreme deity in various religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. It is not a specific name but a descriptor of a higher power or being.
