it depends on who you ask, each religion has a different name for God.
Christians & Jews believe His name is Yahweh or Jehovah, Muslims believe in Allah, Hindus and many others believe in many gods, etc.

God has several names. 1. Jehova. 2. yahweh. 3. I am. To name a few. Jesus is God's son. I and the Father are 1 said Jesus. Add to that the Holy Spirit. The Father The son and The Holy Spirit. Then other names like The Lord of Hosts. Alpha and Omega( The Beginning and The End). They are in the Bible.

Yahweh is a proposed English reading of יהוה, the name of the God of Israel, as preserved in the original consonantal Hebrew Bible text. These four Hebrew letters [ i.e. יהוה ] are often collectively called the Tetragrammaton (from the Greek τετραγράμματον, meaning 'four-letter [word]'), and are usually transliterated JHWH in German, and either YHWH, YHVH, JHWH or JHVH in English.

Jews do not pronounce the name, but use e.g. HaShem ("The Name") or Shem HaMeforash (“the ineffable Name.”) When Hebrew no longer was a living language, the Masoretes added vowel marks to the consonant text to assist readers. To יהוה they added the vowels for "Adonai" (= "My Lords"), the word to use when the Bible text is read. Also the Septuagint (Greek translation) and Vulgata (Latin translation) use the word "Lord" (κύριος and dominus, respectively). (Adonai is plural referring to "Elohim", which is used to mean God, but is plural in form and originally meant "Gods")

Various proposals exist for a vocalization of יהוה. Current convention is יַהְוֶה, that is, Yahweh. The 'Yah' part seems fairly certain, for example from Biblical proper names ending in -ia(h) or -yahu. Early Christian literature written in Greek used spellings like Ιαβε that can be transcribed by 'Yahweh'. Although contention still exists, today many scholars accept this proposal.

I get the feeling that you're actually going for a name. In Genisis, when Moses is speaking to the burning bush, he asks God what his name is. God says, tell them "I AM" That's the first actual name of God mentioned. He is also called Yahweh, I think I spelled that right, and Jehovah. Of course, there are the other list of names with their different meanings, but I really don't want to get into those now.

JEHOVAH. Also known as Yahweh. It was removed from older translations of the Bible and replaced with Lord or God in over 7,000 places. You can find the name at Exodus 6:3, Psalm 83;18, Isaiah 12:2; 26:4 in the King James version of the Bible.

God is a job title, not a name. Each God has a different name.

God is so immense there is no known name which can be attached to Him, yet He is called by many names, according to the feelings/belief of the person speaking to Him or of Him.
Some examples: Father, Love, Rose of Sharon, Lord Almighty.
God is not limited to human language. We are! God is Spirit and Truth. "I Am" is as good a name as any for God. God IS.
