Shalom Shoshanna;

You wrote, "El is another name for G-d......", but such is not the case in
biblical Hebrew, rather in biblical Hebrew, then term "El" is merely a
descriptive title. A good exampe of this we can use is the case of the
President of the United States of America, his name is Barak Obama, but
people refer to him as "Mr. President". The same applies to the deity of
Yisra'el, his name is not "El", he is merely preferred to as such, because
such is his title of position to us.
