I tried to find out many moons ago, and got side-tracked, until recently. I'm doing a bit of research in the hopes of enlisting the help from my fellow ATS'rs in finding the truth.

Definition of 'God' - Dictionary.com

For some reason, English speaking individuals have settled on this word: GOD to denote a supreme entity.

Other cultures, for example, use these words to mean the same thing:

Muslim/Islamic: Allah
Jew: Yahweh

****

The English language is a mixture of few other languages; one of them being of 'Germanic' nature.

I noticed from my above definition link:

[Origin: bef. 900; ME, OE; c. D god, G Gott, ON goth, Goth guth]


So now we have these three names:

1. Gott
2. goth
3. guth

Can we go further back in time with this 'reverse engineering' of information?

Do you have any links to that my friend?

I'm doing referencing and cross-referencing at this point.

I appreciate your help!

The word God comes from the name GOrDon which is his actual last name. GOD was Gregory GOrDon. (To use the past tense) He was the "second" Christ who made war with the anti-Christ, Ronald Reagan. And as if to signify that it's all about Him, Me, I included the name of my adversary in my proper name. (note the r.o.n, in GOrDon) Think not that because I exist in present time according to your calendars that I did not let my name be known throughout time and space.

For a full breakdown of my name see The Creation of God and click on my new name and or the word of God

This is a fairly good online source:

ETYMOLOGY

There are many much better off-line.


And for Sanskrit (there is no Indo-European etymology without it):
