What does God mean in Aramaic?

"Alaaha" is "God" in the Aramaic dialect of Syria (Syriac); however, this is NOT the dialect of Jesus shall you be looking for that -- in the dialect of Jesus, it is "Elah".  Even though the question was addressed to the meaning, I believe you were asking for the Aramaic word instead; if shall my assumption erred, I apologise.

"god" little "g" is a descriptive term.\n"God" big "G" is a proper noun and the common name that Christians use to address God.\n\nThere are numerous other names for God, for example:\nthe Great IAM, the Lord Almighty, the Creator, the Lord of Hosts, Father, the God of Abraham, Master, Father, Savior, and the list goes on.  \n\nThis follows Jewish tradition not to utter the true name of God, because the Name is holy (holy enough to need to capitalize the word "Name"), and to utter it is to risk using his Name in vain and there by breaking the 2nd Commandment.\n\nThe true pronounciation of the name of God from Genesis (YHWH) is actually a mystery, since you will never get a Hebrew to say the Name.  Most scholars believe it is pronounced "Yahweh" but no one knows for sure.\n\nThere is one name of God that everyone knows... Jesus.\n\n(Or Yeshua by the Hebrews, Jesu / Yesu by non-English speakers)\n\nA name is just how you know someone... the name is not as important as how well you know that Someone. ;)

I can't believe Mainworry got this wrong...actually I can believe it.\n\nAmen:This Hebrew word means firm, and hence also faithful (Rev. 3:14). In Isa. 65:16,\nthe Authorized Version has "the God of truth," which in Hebrew is "the God of\nAmen." It is frequently used by our Savior to give emphasis to his words,\nwhere it is translated "verily." Sometimes, only, however, in John's Gospel, it\nis repeated, "Verily, verily." It is used as an epithet of the Lord Jesus Christ\n(Rev. 3:14). It is found singly and sometimes doubly at the end of prayers (Ps.\n41:13; 72:19; 89:52), to confirm the words and invoke the fulfillment of them.\nIt is used in token of being bound by an oath (Num. 5:22; Deut. 27:15-26; Neh.\n5:13; 8:6; 1 Chr. 16:36). In the primitive churches it was common for the\ngeneral audience to say "Amen" at the close of the prayer (1 Cor. 14:16). The\npromises of God are Amen; i.e., they are all true and sure (2 Cor. 1:20).\n\nI will say this though. The Common English translations of the word amen include: "Verily", "Truly", "So be it", and "Let it be".\nBut you wanted to know where it originate.\nAnd also the Wikipedia definitions could have been put in there by anyone.

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscient of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.\n\nIt's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.\n\nIf we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/na/index.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/na/

Yes, the word "Allah" is translated as "God" in English.  Arabic speakers who are Muslim and Christian use Allah to refer to God - specifically the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, Who is worshipped by Christians, Muslims and Jews alike.

Sadly, again you are twisting the scripture. According to the structure of the verse, you are likely using the KJV of the Bible. While many Christians swear that this is the "most accurate" version of the Bible, theologians have long disagreed. When looking at the original text for the word "gods" in this text, we find it is the word Elohim. In different translations Elohim is translated as these different words:\nGod\ngods\njudges\n\nIn Exodus 22:8-9, the word Elohim is translated as judges. So what is the proper translation in the case of Ex 22:28. Well, we should read the rest of the chapter to find the proper context. \n\nWhat concept best fits the context of the term? What concept is best understood in the second language? The idea has to be transferred from one culture and time to another culture and time. There may or may not be a literal translation from the first to the second language.\n\nIn the case of the term Elohim in Exodus 22: 28. the translators of the various versions have used gods, God, judges, or simply have carried the Hebrew term over as is. Technically, each translation is correct. However, which one is the best in this passage?\n\nThe term gods carries the idea of something other than the true God of heaven. Why would the people be told not to revile the gods? They were to have nothing to do with them. Because of its connotation, this is not a good translation here.\n\nWhen Exodus 22: 8 and 9 are considered, the term God has definite meaning for the time when this commandment was given. The people were being led by God. He had just issued the Ten Commandments. Whatever the people did or said was considered to be before God. Thus, all judgments were considered to be made by God.\n\nThe judges were considered to be knowledgeable men who represented God. It was they who made decisions when there was a dispute. As a guide, they used the laws that God had given to them through Moses. Because of their position and the authority given to them by Moses, going before them with a case to be decided was as if they were going before God.\n\nAt first glance, the use of several versions for understanding in this example will cause confusion. However, with a knowledge of the background, one can see why the versions use different words in translation. Now, the reader can choose the rendering that he can best comprehend. The person who uses one version only can be at a disadvantage. If there is a poor translation in his version, he may obtain a misunderstanding of the concept. \n\nIn conclusion, I would suggest that either God or judges can be used. However, the reader must read the whole chapter to avoid interpreting this verse out of context. Here is a lesson for not using one verse by itself to formulate a belief.

Aramaic Language, Semitic language closely related to Hebrew. Originally the language of the Aramaeans (see Aram), it was used, in many dialectical forms, in Mesopotamia and Syria before 1000 bc and later became the lingua franca of the Middle East.\n\nBefore the Christian era, Aramaic had become the language of the Jews in Palestine. Jesus preached in Aramaic, and parts of the Old Testament and much of the rabbinical literature were written in that language. Christian Aramaic, usually called Syriac, also developed an extensive literature, especially from the 4th to 7th centuries.

This Hebrew word means firm, and hence also faithful (Rev. 3:14). In Isa. 65:16, the Authorized Version has "the God of truth," which in Hebrew is "the God of Amen." It is frequently used by our Saviour to give emphasis to his words, where it is translated "verily." Sometimes, only, however, in John's Gospel, it is repeated, "Verily, verily." It is used as an epithet of the Lord Jesus Christ (Rev. 3:14).\n\nIt is found singly and sometimes doubly at the end of prayers (Ps. 41:13; 72:19; 89:52), to confirm the words and invoke the fulfilment of them.

In the primitive churches it was common for the general audience to say "Amen" at the close of the prayer (1 Cor. 14:16).\n\nThe promises of God are Amen; i.e., they are all true and sure (2 Cor. 1:20).\n\nYou might have noticed during "The Passion of the Christ" that if you listened to the aramaic, Jesus said "Amen" when speaking to his disciples. If you've read the Gospels, you'll remember the "Verily I say unto you..." or "Assuredly" that often begin Jesus' statements. The movie translated these as "Amen".

There is not an easy answer to this question.  As I understand it Arabic is is a relatively new language and Allah is  the term for God.  The ancient generic term for God  was El  and I would suspect that Allah is derived from El rather than Jah.  I believe that Yahweh is an exclusive Hebrew term.  (Jehovah is an English attempt at transliteration and Yahweh is a more refined attempt)\n\nYahweh was not used in common speech, and even in religious declarations was substituted by Adonai, hence the Biblical translation LORD.  Yahweh is the thrice holy God (implying that you can not get anything more holy) Even references to God that are direct are given remoteness so it is the voice of God that walked in the garden and the angel that spoke out of the bush to Moses.\n\nMoses was told that  the  forefather's were unaware of the holy  name, however, the text reckons that they were which could mean that the ancient oral traditions were revised as the scriptures were being compiled.\n\nEl, i understand, was actually a pagan deity but the term meant God rather I suppose in the same way as biro  means a ball point pen and hoover a vacuum cleaner.\n\nThe main problem is that we do not have a concept of a God with a personal name and are rather sketchy on holiness.  The best that we have been able to do is to give God a capital letter.\n\nThe Lord Jesus gave us the idea of a God that was personal to us, Hallowed Father.  The apostle develops it and declares we cry Abba, this is common in many languages, ba ba  Chinese, papa, English and other European languages.\n\nThere is only one recorded instance where the Lord did not address God as Father and that was on the cross where he used Eloi .  You see the name of God is holy, and he would not have uttered it in such a place of death and cursing, not until his work was complete and sin was paid for, then he presented his offering and said "Father into your hands I commit my spirit"\n\nJesus is the latinised form of Joshua or if you prefer  Yeshua which means Yah saves ( should it be Yahshua?) \n\nYahweh as well as holiness also carries with it a concept of salvation, of deliverance, of preservance.\n\nBoth Allah and  Yahweh carry the idea of hope and promise.  There can only be one God who is the one God and both names carry this concept.  In view of this reasoning both must be the same,  however, I don't think their theologies quite agree.  In the bible which has been corrupted according the the proponets of the Quran  Isaiah declares \n"As the rain and snow come down from the heavens\nand do not return without watering the earth,\nmaking it produce grain\ngiving seed for sowing and bread to eat,\nso it is with my words issuing from my mouth;\nit will not return to me empty\nwithout accomplishing my purpose\n and succeeding in the task for which I sent it"\n\nTo my mind that does not give much room for corruption nor for the new to usurp the old.\n\nThere again the Quran states something like has God acquired a son? And there are lots of curses on those who say so and then the idea of a whole pantheon is introduced of aunts and uncles and cousins and whatever and riduculed  for God is one and uniquily one.\n\nYet the psalmist declares 'You are my son.' he said to me\n'this day I became your father....'\n\nTherefore I would suggest that God is used unless out of deference Allah or another term is used whenever refering about God, and it is not necessary to use Yahweh or Jehovah.  \n\nWhen you are addressing God, and callling on his name, to seek his presence to make  petition then a tem of reverence is required
