God is an English word. There is a word in German, "Gott" that sounds very similar and has the same meaning....

@excusemeplease My Great Grandfather was a German preacher. I found his old Bible. Gott is prominent. I am pretty sure if you did a Google translate you could inform yourself.

@hippyjoe1955 the word in the original Bible is "Theos". I assume I made that up as well....

@excusemeplease Theos is Greek. The Oldest name we have in the Bible from Genesis is Elohim. In El meaning God Elohim meaning Gods. Three Persons in One God.
