The Names of God Series : ELOHIM (GOD)
Meaning and Derivation: Elohim is
translated as "God." The derivation of the name Elohim is debatable
to most scholars. Some believe it derived from 'êl which, in turn, originates
from the root word, 'wl (which means "strong"). Others think that
Elohim is derived from another two roots: 'lh (which means "god") in
conjunction with 'elôah (which means "fear"). And still others
presume that both 'êl and Elohim come from 'eloah. [BlueLetterBible]
