Muslims sometimes claim that "Allah" is the correct name for God.
However, one of the names of God in the Bible is "El".
This site lists 108 names that end with or contain "El", where it means "of God":

Two of these names are well-known to Muslims, and they are:
Ishmael – Heard by God, Named by God, or God Hearkens
Gabriel – Man of God, God has shown Himself Mighty, Hero of God or Strong one of God
Also less well-known are these names:
Ilias (Elias)
Alyasa (Elisha)
Muslims usually know the country called "Israel". This name means "Who prevails with God".
