Most religions and cultures have differing explanations for the word's origin. I guess since you are asking for the origin of an English word, this is as good an explanation as any (If this doesn't show up as a direct link please cut & paste.):

God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe that the word GOD was originally Hebrew, and as such it was spelt as JVWH or hebrew equivalent.
Ive also just read in Hebrew it was EL
Just googled it and came up with this.

Etymology of the Name God
Oddly, the exact history of the word God is unknown. The word God is a relatively new European invention, which was never used in any of the ancient Judaeo-Christian scripture manuscripts that were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek or Latin.

According to the best efforts of linguists and researchers, the root of the present word God is the Sanskrit word hu which means to call upon, invoke, implore.

Nonetheless, it is also interesting to note the similarity to the ancient Persian word for God which is Khoda.

The following is a survey of some of the efforts of those who have been trying to decipher the ancient roots of the word God:

Webster's 1913 Dictionary:

\God\ (g[o^]d), n. [AS. God; akin to OS. & D. god, OHG. Got, G. gott, Icel. Gu[eth], go[eth], Sw. & Dan. Good, Goth. Gup, prob. orig. a p. p. from a root appearing in Skr. h[=u], p. p. h[=u]ta, to call upon, invoke, implore. [root]30. Cf. {Goodbye}, {Gospel}, {Gossip}.]

Yes the Hebrew word for God is El (probably meaning strong one, mighty one and is used with reference to Yahweh, other gods and to men) but it is completely different to the word YHWH which is the divine name, just as the name Jesus is different to King.
