God, who is Gawd, who is Gad
–
Is “God” a name?
–
The original text indicates the word for our Creator is Elohim or Yahweh (Jehovah, depending on the pronunciation).
Those in the middle east still keep the “el” or “al” sounds as the word for the Creator.

Where did the English word “God” come from?
One unsettling explanation is here:
Isaiah 65:11
But you are those who forsake the Lord,The words God (English) and Gad (Hebrew) are pronounced exactly the same way: “Gawd”
Who forget my holy mountain,
Who prepare table for Gad.
And who furnish a drink offering for Meni.
God / Gawd / Gad was a pagan deity, so why do we call the Father in heaven by this pagan name?
Scripture says we should not defile his name, or even speak the name of another god, which would give it recognition and possible merit.
Exd 23:13 And in all [things] that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.So, why are we pronouncing the name of God / Gawd / Gad?
Deut 12:3-4 says that we should, instead, destroy the images and names of false gods:
And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire: you shall cut down their carved images of the gods and destroy their names from that place.The Lord indicates that only by his name are we saved.
I am wondering how many useless prayers are made to “God / Gawd / Gad.”
This word has no power, no redemption. There may be no answer to these prayers as well.

Conclusion:
In our prayers, we should be using the proper names Yahweh / Jehovah to indicate the correct deity to whom we are praying.
In our conversation, we should not use the term “God,” but the proper name of Yahweh, or Jehovah, instead.
Otherwise, we appear to be corrupting the name of Yahweh, or making reference to a different deity.
*** When in doubt, address the Father, in Jesus name. Not even the Jews know how to pronounce the name of the Creator, so they just call Him “Hashem,” or “The Name.”

Gad – etymology, a form of Godhttp://www.allwords.com/query.php?SearchType=3&Keyword=Gad&goquery=Find+it%21&Language=ENG
…………………………………………………………………
“Gad is another ordinary common noun in Hebrew. It means ‘good luck’. We all want as much of it as we can get. So it is not surprising that it became a proper noun, the name of some people, a tribe of Israel, and a god. The god Gad was not ordinarily identified with Baal. But the identities of ancient Mediterranean gods were quite fluid, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the two deities were identified with each other somewhere at some time.”

The Correction Definition Of The Word God:
“Gad is a Syrian or Canaanite deity of good luck or fortune. In Hebrew, it is written GD, but with Massoretic vowel-pointing, it is “Gad.” Other Scriptural references to a similar deity, also written GD, have a vowel-pointing giving us “Gawd” or “God.” Gad, or Gawd is identified with Jupiter, the Sky-deity or the Sun-deity. “
