"Godhead is an awkward English construct of the Greek word θεοτης (theotes) means divinity. It's a quality, not a person.

" θεότης ", theotes is found in Colossians 2:9. It's a noun which translates as Deity.

Col 2:9, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form," Theotes refers to the Deity who is, in all His fullness a Person - Jesus. God, the Deity, the Theotes, the Godhead is a Person.

θεότης means the state of being God. If it is a state then it's not the being or a person, but a state of that being. Humanity is a state of being human, theotes is the state of being divine.
