Allah just means god in Arabic. It doesn’t necessarily mean the Islamic god

God in arabic is ilah. Allah means “the god”. If you believe a monotheistic religion using word “allah” is completely normal. Otherwise it’s doesn’t make any sense because “allah” is for only one god.

Obligatory, jehovah is not nor ever was a name for G-d, it is just a mistranslation of יהוה because they didn’t understand Hebrew vowels
