According to the Book of Genesis in Judaism's Torah, the Christian Bible and Islam's Qur'an, Adam was the first man created by God. At Genesis 1:27 Adam's female mate is said to have been created with Adam, and at Genesis 2:21-22 Adam's wife is named as Eve (or Chava-חוה) and was created from his side. Hence, Eve has, in modern times, been thought of as the first woman, according to these texts, though classical traditions recorded in the Midrash make her the second.

Several religions advance taboos related to names of their gods. In some cases, the name may never be spoken, or only spoken by inner-circle initiates, or only spoken at prescribed moments during certain rituals. In other cases, the name may be freely spoken, but when written, taboos apply. It is common to regard the written name of one's god as deserving of respect; it ought not, for instance, be stepped upon or dirtied. It may be permissible to burn the written name when there is no longer a use for it. < ...

There are many theories, however, including the following: Some trace its origin in el or ul which may mean ("to be strong") or possibly ("to be in front"), from which also are derived ayil ("ram", the one in front of the flock) and elah (the prominent "terebinth"); Elohim would then be an expanded plural form of El.
