'Al' means: the/only/particulair/distinct
'lah' means: that wich is worshipped/adored/obeyed
So Allah means: The only one worthy of worship, recognition and praise.
It's just an other word for God.

We say Allah because in the Arabic word this means 'uniqueness' and 'without gender'. So from this point I'm going to use the word Allah. And you know that I'm not speaking of the Muslim god, I'm speaking of the creator of the heavens and earth, your lord and my lord. The same god of Moses and Abraham and Jacob and the Tribes and John the Baptist and Jesus Christ and the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him. The same god.

And you're right that Christ isn't the same as Allah, because Christ isn't a god.
