A diagram of the names of God in Athanasius Kircher's Oedipus Aegyptiacus (1652–1654).

Deus (Classical Latin:, Ecclesiastical Latin: [ˈd̪ɛː.us]) is the Latin word for 'god' or 'deity'. Latin deus and dīvus ('divine') are in turn descended from Proto-Indo-European *deiwos, 'celestial' or 'shining', from the same root as *Dyēus, the reconstructed chief god of the Proto-Indo-European pantheon.
Quirinus most likely was originally a Sabine war god. The Sabines had a settlement near the eventual site of Rome, and erected an altar to Quirinus on the Collis Quirinalis, Quirinal Hill, one of the Seven hills of Rome. When the Romans settled in the area, the cult of Quirinus became part of their early belief system.
