It may also be noted that the Greek translation of the Sanskrit name Krishna, was actually Christos. The English word "Christ" originated from the Greek term.
The Tagalog term Diyos supposedly originated from the Greek "Zeus" and the Sanskrit Dyaus.

The now-Tagalog "diyos" is actually a result of Spanish colonization of the Philippines. It came from Spanish "Dios" which originated from Latin "Deo".
Thanks for sharing your views. Indeed it may be that the word "Diyos" came from Latin "Deo." However Latin also is a language with close link to Greek. Further research revealed that Latin "Deo" came from Greek "Zeus."
Also I need to correct the proper spelling was "Dyaus," not Djaus that I previously posted, pardon.
