Where this word comes from

The emperor/empress is named after the deity, whose name is from a Semitic language, variously suggested to be (a dialectal variant of) Arabic إِلٰه جَبَل (ʔilāh jabal, “god of the mountain”) or Classical Syriac ܐܠܗܓܒܠ (ʾĔlāhgabāl, “deity of the mountain”), possibly through Ancient Greek Ἐλαγάβαλος (Elagábalos). Ultimately from Proto-Semitic *ʾil-.
