Names of gods

Divine names are the words and phrases used to refer to God or gods.

In monotheistic traditions, these include formal titles like Yahweh, Allah, or Jehovah, as well as descriptive epithets: the Almighty, the Most High, the Lord.

Many traditions treat certain divine names as sacred, restricting their use or pronunciation.

The study of divine names—their meanings, proper use, and mystical significance—occupies theologians across religions.
