The Arabic word 'Islam' simply means 'submission', and derives from a word meaning 'peace'. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God. 'Mohammedanism' is thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims worship Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) rather than God. 'Allah' is the Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and Christians alike.
