God’s Names Translated in Scripture
As previously stated, all Sacred Names sects insist that only the Hebrew names of God, properly pronounced in Hebrew, are acceptable to Him. However, when we find God’s names translated into different languages, their claims lose even more credibility.
After the Babylonian captivity, Hebrew ceased to be the common language among the Jews and was replaced with Aramaic. Five chapters of Daniel were written in Aramaic, with the rest in Hebrew. Four chapters of Ezra were also written in Aramaic, with the rest in Hebrew. In these chapters, we find God’s name—Elah—written in Aramaic, not Hebrew. Daniel and Ezra were God’s dedicated servants, and they were not bound to only write (or speak) the names of God exclusively in the Hebrew language. Clearly, Daniel and Ezra, inspired by God, properly translated His name into Aramaic. Therefore, the Hebrew names for God can be translated into other languages, as well

This is all great stuff, except for one small problem.
"El" isn't his name.
El (and its Aramaic variant Eli) is the Hebrew word for "God." It is a title, the heavenly job description - not a name. The name itself, the Jews did not pronounce aloud. It is too holy.
God's actual names, given in the Bible, are the Tetragrammaton (the four letters), or his answer to Moses: "I AM".

It all depends what country you are from, I have a aramic Bible, I can't look up any scriptures. God throughout time was referred to many names.

Yes. And I also know how it's pronounced in about 40-odd other languages.
What's your point?
