Many religious groups believe that the names Jehovah or the name Yahweh are the true names of God. I will explain why that is not so.
First the name Jehovah.
The name Jehovah is a fictitious name of the catholic church, in the 14th or 15th century catholic theologians mixed the title "aOnAi" with "YHWH" and from this came "Jehovah". This re-vocalization of the Tetragram is called "Qere perpetuum".
The name Jehovah is wrong not only because it was created by a "mix", but also because the letters J, O and V are not present in the original Hebrew. The J is usually a Y and the V/W/O is a U (in original hebrew there are no J or V/W sounds). The majority of Jewish and Christian scholars also agree that the name Jehovah is clearly wrong.
(by the way, coincidentally "Hovah" means disaster Strong's Hebrew: 1943. הֹוָה (hovah) -- a ruin, disaster)
The name Yahweh.
It is the same as with the name Jehovah, the "w"(waw) is in the original Hebrew a "U" (Uau). And in the end it is not "eh" but "ah".
Yad (Y sound), Hay (AH sound), Uau (U sound), Hay (AH sound) are the 4 letters of the name. If we all connect then comes the name: YAHUAH
Yahuah is the original name of God.
The two short variants of the name Yahuah are "Yahu" and "Yah".
Why is the name of God important?
The name is very important because a name is personal, unique and a name gives the person identity.
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of YAHUAH shall be Saved." ~ Romans 10:13; Acts 2:21
Interestingly is the meaning of the Paleo Hebrew symbols for the Tetragrammaton(YHUH):
"Behold(H) Nail(U), Behold(H) Hand(Y)"
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.
Zechariah 12:10
