The name of God of Israel

General notes on names of divinities
In many religions gods have their personal names and that's it.

Canaanite El is El and Baal Baal, Assyrian Asshur is Asshur, Babylonian Marduk is Marduk and Ishtar Ishtar, Persian Ahura Mazda is Ahura Mazda.

Changes are possible, of course.
A god or goddess with specific attributes may be identified with another divinity with similar character. 
There may actual merging of different gods shown in aliases
There have been combinations of traditional divinity names with new attributes.
Names of divinities may be inherited from other languages in peaceful contacts of cultures.
Sharp changes in the names of gods and goddesses probably reflects the arrival of a new religion that identifies existing old divinities as false gods or as evil enemies.

The Bible is remarkably rich in the discussion on the name of God. The Torah from Sinai contains a very powerful and explicit command against the misuse of the divine name. The people of God are therefore religiously careful about the use of the Name, its spelling and appearance in written documents, also in the Web.

But which one of the many names of God appearing in the Bible is tabu?
