"Deus" is no more the Latin name of God than "God" is the English name of the Supernal being who is not named, so much as given a descriptor. Although, actually He supposedly does have a name, of unknown pronunciation: "YHVH", and if that were really to be translated into English, it is speculated that it would be somethingl like "I am" or "It is" or "He is" or "He who exists".
