In monotheism, there are many names attributed to the personification of the divine, supreme, entity. Different names may refer to the same "God", though be of different languages, or be in varied ways different from other cultural meanings, as prescribed by religious doctrine, for example.
Some of the names are used in approximately the same sense (e.g., when a Catholic uses both "God" and "the Holy Trinity"), but for the most part, the names mark important differences in meaning. Positivists (e.g., advocates of Logical empiricism) should take note that a robust theory of the meaning of Religious Language, however dismissive, ought to be able to account, in some fashion, for these differences in meaning. Among the names used, or ways to refer to the divine, are the following; there are both generic words given for the divine being(s), as well as specific names (used by analogy to names for particular individuals or things) for the divine used in particular religions.
Since the term "Buddha" does not correlate well with European definitions of the divine, it may or may not be considered a "name given to the divine", depending on the specific sect and/or philosophy.
