God is God's first name.
Elohim is God's first name.
Elohim was abbreviated as "El" and may in fact be the first name of God.
It is possible "El" was the singular first name of God.
But Babylonian Jews wanted to pluralize God's name and created Elohim.
I say this because if we translated Elohim it would be "GODS." Since Elohim is plural. Why then did the Jews in Babylon when they retranslated the Bible from Paleo Hebrew into Aramaic use Elohim?
There is a great puzzle why "El" is added to names to signify the one true God. The first name I found beginning with El is Elishah (Genesis 10:4), which correctly then is El-ishah. With El of course meaning the one true God and "ishah" meaning a man (see also ish Strongs #376). Then look at a prophecy of God in Hosea 2:16 (call me no more Baali but Ishi). At some point God is saying here he would be called a MAN!
My main point here is that when any man says God is not the name of God, he is a liar. They do this so they can then say God has a name. And that name is not God, it is Jehovah, Yahweh, Yah, Jah, or a thousand other guess names taken from the tetragrammaton. But God is a name.
Take a look at the name of the first son of Abraham: Ishmael. Here we have Ishma-el. Clearly we have Ish-ma-el and no one can say this properly without breaking down the three syllables. They say Ishmael means God will hear. This is crazy. It shows that Strong and others can have their opinion, but their opinions are not always a correct rendering. How come he did not render "Ish" then "ma" and then "el?" It is because they did not want Ishmael to have a name meaning a "man given from God." They did get the "el" God part correct though.
There are many many examples where God's name as "El and Elohim" are used in the names of places and people.
Later on we will see how God is called by Abraham El-Shaddai. Now was this man stupid? If El is not a name why then did Abraham call God El and then add "shaddai" meaning ALMIGHY? To Abraham "EL" was the name of his God and there was none greater or mightier.
Let us now approach Jesus as Lord and Christ. As El-Shaddai as we find in Revelation 1:8. For us there is God in Jesus, and not just God but "El." And to us Jesus is the true and highest name of God, none greater. And to this name every knee will bow. Either bow in salvation or bow at the judgment before being cast into hell fire.
But to my first point, God is the first name of God.
And to identify the Creator, Moses wrote:
In the beginning GOD (El-Elohim) created the heavens and the earth.
In the fourth word of the Bible, the first name of all names, before there were any other names upon earth. the name God appears. And from this name all creation comes into existence.
Jesus is God because he created all things. The Bible says so and I say so.

One God and His name one (Zechariah 14:9). God has given us His highest name. We need not go to tetragrammatons of guess names, when we have His full revealed name Jesus. We confess that Jesus is God, and God is Jesus. One God, and one God only!
