The use of “Allah” as the term for “God” is widespread in the Christian world, as you said. I remember being surprised that even the Georgians, who’ve been Christian for a thousand years, use the word.

In modified form, “Allah” also exists in other languages as a nonreligious term, such as the Spanish “Ole!” which is a legacy from the Muslim occupation of Spain.
