I read that there was a female Hindu goddess namef al alal and tjat the illiterate followers of Mohamhad adopted the name transmogrified to allah because thry didn’ want a Hebrew connecrion.
Every language has its own word for God.
The Arabic word for God existed long before the English word “God”.
Arabic Muslims, Jews, and Christians ALL call God “Allah” because they speak Arabic, and that is THE Arabic word for God.
Allah is the word for God in the Arabic scriptures of Arabic Jews and Arabic Christians.
The video creator is correct that God’s name, from the Hebrew scriptures, is Yahweh. So, he makes an excellent point that the Koran uses Hebraic names that honor the Hebrew titles and name of God. He is only partially correct about the New Testament references to God. The New Testament quotes Old Testament passages in which Yahweh is translated as “Lord,” and these New Testament passages apply this title to Jesus.
For example, “Whoever shall call on the name of the Lord [Yahweh, but applied to Jesus], shall be saved.” See Romans 10:10.
The main reason I point this out repeatedly on this forum is because Christians should not ignorantly malign God’s Arabic title “Allah” just because Muslims misuse it to refer to their false god. We would never malign the names of Jesus because certain cults misuse it.

The important point is He knows my name
Isiah 43 But now thus says the Lord,
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
