ʾIlu

ʾIlu, also spelt as ʾEl, ʾIll, and Anu (means "the One True God" in Syriac, Phoenician, Akkadian, Ugaritic, Arabic, and Proto-Semitic, respectively). Also known as Yahweh, God, or Allah is a Proto-Semitic, Canaanite, Arabian, Mesopotamian, and Phoenician god of uncertain sex (usually depicted as a male). He is a one of the strongest Semitic deities along with ʾAṯūr (Ashur/Anshar), his wife-daughter ʾAṯiratu (Asherah/Allāt), and Baʿal.

The form ʾIlu is attested in Arabic (as a transliteration for the Levantine deity, the original Arabic cognate is ʾIll which means vow or highest deity, and ʾIllu was the nominative form) and Akkadian as the name of Sumerian Anu.
