Etymology
'Baha'u'llah' originates from Arabic and Persian, specifically the elements 'bahāʼ' and 'Allāh', where 'bahāʼ' meant 'glory' and 'Allāh' meant 'God'.
'Baha'u'llah' changed from Arabic/Persian religious usage into various romanized English forms (for example, 'Baha'u'llah' and later written with diacritics as 'Bahá'u'lláh'), and the name entered English through 19th-century accounts of the Baháʼí movement.
Initially, it meant 'glory of God', and this sense has been preserved in the name's modern usage referring to the religious figure.
