Hallelujah vs Alleluia
What's the difference between these two words other than obviously the spelling. I've seen some songs write Alleluia which sounds very similar to Hallelujah when sung.

Both spellings have come into English from the same origin but via different routes.
- "Hallelujah" is from the Hebrew via the Greek transliteration and is close to the original Hebrew
- "Alleluia" is from the Hebrew via the Latin.
Both transliterations began with the Hebrew. The original Hebrew word means to "Praise the LORD/YHWH"

This is the same reason that “in the Latin alphabet, Jehovah begins with an I”. The letter J and the silent H don’t exist in classical Latin.
