I should add the possibility that this title should be awarded to g-d's wife. While traveling, I read an archeological magazine that made claims as follows: Yaweh was a Caananite god who, like other Caananite gods, had a consort. Something someone has recently dug up (or possibly re-interpreted) suggests that Mrs. Yaweh was around for a while when Yaweh passed, as it were, to new ownership. She was then struck from the written (but not the archeological) record.
