Names and titles of God
[1] The Scriptural names for God are Elohim, Jehovah and Adonai. The King James Version distinguishes among these three names:
The word “God” is from the Hebrew word Elohim;[2] Each of these words, Elohim, Jehovah and Adonai, describes the character of God and of His actions toward mankind, distinguishing between the saint and the sinner.
The words “LORD,” “GOD,” “LORD GOD,” “LORD God” are from the Hebrew word Jehovah;
The word “lord” is from the word Adonai.
