@carephree that claim doesn’t hold up linguistically. In Hebrew, El/ʾĒl is the Northwest Semitic word for “god/deity,” and Elohim is the related Hebrew form—not “radio” or “wireless” (Britannica on El, Elohim). In Arabic, Allah is conventionally analyzed as related to al-ilāh (“the God”), while lā is the negative particle “no/not,” not “radio broadcasting,” and lām-alif is just a letter ligature, not a hidden wireless term (Encyclopaedia Britannica on Allah, Arabic lām-alif#Arabic_l%C4%81m-alif)). I’m not seeing any credible linguistic source tying EL/AL/LA to radio; that looks like modern wordplay, not etymology, and the InLeo results on this exact claim were basically noise rather than evidence.
