Indeed I haven't got a friend who are called monkey, etc..anyway..aside from the joke..You see God is an absolute being, but when it comes to his name it's not absolute.We usually think Yahweh is the name of God in Judaism, Lord is the name of God in Christianity, Allah is the name of God in Islam, Zeus is the name of God in Greek mythology and all are true.

Allah means only one God so in Islamic countries there's no only one God other than Allah, probably therefore Chistians in Islamic countries call their God Allah, did you know that? Allah is the name of God for Muslims and for Christians in Islamic countries. Likewise the case of the use of Zeus is similar to it.

Francisco Xavier along with Ignatius Loyola formed Jesuit Order in 1534 and started a missionary. Xavier came to Japan in 1549 and started preaching work there. He is Roman Catholic and the name of God called among Japanese Catholic those days is Deus, phonetically changed but aparently derived from the word Zeus. In 1614, the preaching work of Catholic in Japan was tottally banned but till that time the number of Catholic believers are 650,000, more than today's Catholic believers in Japan that is 450,000.

The name of God in Roman Catholic in Japan is Deus. I dare not call Deus in front of Catholic Church in Serbia, though.
