Divine simplicity

But you may ask, are not many accidents attributed to God, such as wisdom, justice, goodness, mercy, and similar attributes, from which He is called wise, just, merciful, and good? I respond that all these are not said of God in the same way as they are of us.

For those names signify certain accidents in created things, but in God they denote His very essence, which due to its all-encompassing perfection and various operations, assumes various names. Because such perfection cannot be signified by a single name, nor grasped by a single concept.
