It's common in many religious communities to not write the name of God out. I think it likely comes from the Jewish tradition.

The idea of not naming G-d is based on the concept of being human comprehension and not within realm of human language. G-d can name things in our world but it’s a one way street. For humans it’s presumptions to assign a name to G-d. it implies an understanding that can’t exist.
