الله

Etymology
From the root. Widely theorized to be a contraction of, from with loss of initial hamza after the definite article. Others suggest it is a variant spelling of the more ancient, the extra ل (l) serving as an emphatic marker to emphasize distinction, first attested in the Mecca and Taif region, and later in the Quran. Both proposed roots were current in pre-Islamic usage, particularly الإلٰه (al-ilāh) in Nabataean Arabic-Aramaic usage from which the singular use has presumably spread. Ultimately from. Compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬.
