Rahmanan
Rahmanan, "the Merciful", was the name of the single god worshipped by the kings of Himyar after they abandoned the old south Arabian gods around 380 CE. Inscriptions call him Lord of Heaven, or of Heaven and Earth. The name is related to al-Rahman in Arabic and is used of God by both Jewish-leaning and Christian inscriptions of the period.
