Type down the word "God" in this Aramaic dictionary to find out what Jesus used to call God:

Umm- God has many names. Each name would be indicative of a different aspect and understanding of God's nature. Thus there is no absolute name! So from the four letter holy name, up to the over 300,000 letter unpronounceacble name (this is the entire Torah written out as a single word. It is understood to be representative of the fact that just as this name is not even readable or pronounceable by us, so is it impossible for us to understand the totality of God) all the different names of God are the absolute name, just for use in different contexts!

Firstly it does not matter what anyone thinks regarding the name that God is known by in Heaven to Himself and the Heavenly court, because no human being could possibly know this.
When Moses asked God His personal name He did not divulge this even to Mose but instead gave an answer that in fact forbids man to enquire at all,` I Am Who Am` this was good enough for Moses who instantly understood that somethings are too sacred for us to know.
The Jews because they had no vowels took the first letter of each word to arrive at the four letter name YHWH which in Greek was called the `Tetragrammaton`meaning four letter word, and after when the vowels `a` and `e`were added we have the name Yahweh, but even this is not the personal name of God.
Jehovah,Yahweh, Allah,El Shaddai etc, are not the true name of God.

"I AM THAT I AM" - Exodus 3:14.
He is also known as Jehovah, which is the English translation of Yahweh, but I believe this is just a word for 'god' and not a definitive name (I could be wrong on that point though).

the absolute name is a hidden sequence of some 72 letters and only very few people throughout history knew the name and according to the tales used it for different invocations.

Allah is absolute personal name of God. God is not a biblical name. It developed throughout centuries as representation of of One All-Mighty God.

Why did NO NEW TESTAMENT WRITER TRANSLITERATE IT???
It was TRANSLATED SEVERAL TIMES in the New Testament, but OH, THAT IS WHAT THEY DID WITH NAMES IN THAT CULTURE! THAT'S WHY THEY DID IT!
... I get it, WHY CAN'T YOU?
