Our Saviour's Name in Hebrew is
(read from right to left).
This is a contraction of two words; IaHU (the short form of IaHUeH) and HUShUA (Salvation). This Name Means "IaHUeH Saves!" As Salvation can Only come from IaHUeH!!
The Hebrew spelling can be found in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.
In ancient Hebrew there were letters that made vowel sounds as well as consonantal. Among these were the Iod, He and the Uaw; making the short i or ee, ah or eh, and oo or o sounds respectively. In fact:(Special thanks to: YAHWEH'S ASSEMBLY IN MESSIAH and their Publication "The Missing J") --------- NOTE:*
"The Creator's Name Yahweh derives from the Tetragrammaton YHWH, the English equivalent of the Hebrew letters ~ (yothe, hay, waw, hay). The Tetragrammaton—"four letters" is found in ancient Bible manuscripts. Early Christian writers such as Clement of Alexandria transliterated it into Greek as IAOUE. (Transliterate means to carry the actual sound of a word from one language to another.) The Tetragrammaton is made up of four Hebrew letters having the force of vowels, as Hebrew primers readily show. Josephus says that the Tetragrammaton appeared in the High Priest's miter (hat) and consisted of four vowels. Wars, Book V, chapter V, 7. "
(Special thanks to: YAHWEH'S ASSEMBLY IN MESSIAH and their Publication "The Missing J")Thus Iod He Uaw He
would be pronounced ee ah oo eh. IaHUeH. "Yahweh" is a good phonetic spelling as is the Greek "IAOUE" but "IaHUeH" seems the most accurate transliteration into English. But what does it mean?
The Name comes from a root that means "was, is, will be..." (as in AIaH ASheR AIaH Exodus 3:14 "I was, am, will be.. what I was, am, will be") Signifying self existance.. the CREATOR .. for all else was created.. through the WORD made flesh!
Who dwelt among us...Now a very interesting note: At Shabbat Meetings I used to attend.. we have been fellowshipping with a Sister Yahudit.. she spelled His Name "IAOUE" which looked very familiar to me..
I had seen it somewhere before.. as it turns out, what I was remembering was reading the name IeShRaEL or "Yisrael" written in a Hebrew font.. but read in an english font.. as in ìàøùé ... This not only gives new meaning to the quote:
2 Chr 7:14
14 If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
(KJV Emphasis added)but also testifies to the difficulties of transliteration from one language to another.
The above example is transliterated from Hebrew to Greek.. back to Hebrew to English via Latin using the "UNIVERSE" protocol for typography. Hebrew reads right to left.. the others left to right... Now tell me: Is this merely a remarkable coincidence?!?
Would you like to see an artistic rendering in Ancient Hebrew? Say Yes Please.
We were moved by IaHUeH's Spirit to find the closest representation of the original letters. The Iod is the root of both the "I" (iota) and modern "Y" as well the "J". We believe the "I" is a more correct translation, being closer to the original.
It is impossible to pronounce the "Y" as in year without first making an almost imperceptible "I" sound as in it or machine. It is likewise impossible to pronounce the "W" as in winter without first making an almost imperceptible "U" as in tune or "O" as in own.
The Uaw is the root of the "U" "V" and "W". We believe the "U" is a more correct translation, being closer to the original.It was only afterwards when we had already begun this usage... that we found confirmations and verifications such as the references on this page.
This has been a major Confirmation to me that the Spirit that was guiding me was in Fact none other than IaHUeH!! Because He revealed this to me through Inspiration.. and then led me to find the various verifications.

OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY
|| Jehovah (_________).
[The English and common European representation, since the 16th c., of the Hebrew divine name Yhwh. This word (the _sacred tetragrammaton') having come to be considered by the Jews too sacred for utterance, was pointed in the O.T. by the Masoretes with the vowels ' (= a), o, a, of adonai, as a direction to the reader to substitute Adonai for the _ineffable name'; which is actually done by Jerome in the Vulgate translation of Exodus vi. 3, and hence by Wyclif. Students of Hebrew at the Revival of Letters took these vowels as those of the word Yhwh (IHUH, JHVH) itself, which was accordingly transliterated in Latin spelling as IeHoVa(H), i.e. Iehoua(h. It is now held that the original name was IaHUe(H), i.e. Jahve(h, or with the English values of the letters, Yahwe(h, and one or other of these forms is now generally used by writers upon the religion of the Hebrews. The word has generally been understood to be a derivative of the verb hawah to be, to exist, as if _he that is', _the self-existent', or _the one ever coming into manifestation'; this origin is now disputed, but no conjectured derivation which has been substituted has found general acceptance.
The following is cited as the first use of the form Iehoua (Jehova):---1516 P. Galatinus De Arcanis Cath. Veritatis ii. lf. xlviij, Non enim he quatuor litere [yhwh] si, ut punctate sunt, legantur, Ioua reddunt: sed (ut ipse optime nosti) Iehoua efficiunt.]
1. The principal and personal name of God in the Old Testament; in English versions usually represented by _the LORD'. Hence in modern Christian use, = God, the Almighty.
1530 Tindale Exod. vi. 3, I appeared vnto Abraham Isaac and Iacob an allmightie God: but in my name Iehouah [Wyclif Adonay] was I not knowne vnto them.
1539 Bible (Great) Ps. lxxxiii. 18 They shall know that thou (whose name is Iehoua) art only the most hyest ouer all the earth.

***Perhaps your question was invoked by the late medieval form Jehova? - which however is based on wrong vocalisation.
Note that the V in that form stems from Latin, expressing the W sound, not our modern V sound, and the J expressing the Y sound, not the modern English J.
The Hebrew divine name YHWH, so with W, sounded like Yahweh.
In Greek the name was transliterated _iaoue_ (Clement of Alexandria) or even _iabe_ (Theodoret); as in Greek, 'ou' or 'b' came closest to w, and they could not render the Hebrew H in the middle of words either.
The short or poetic form of YHWH was Yahu, in Greek lettering transliterated as _iaO_.So any resemblance between Yahweh/Yahu and Jove (iovis) is not really big.Q: Jupiter (= iov-+pater) of course is formed like Greek Zeus pater, Sanskrit Dyaus pita, i.e. IndoEuropean *Dieus ph2ter, but where does the first element (iov-, Jove) stems from? Does it tie in with the others (Dieus etc)? But why the disappearing act of the D(j)? Bit off topic I suppose, but I know some Classicists are lurking on ANE as well.

THE NAME OF G-D
John Steed (Coffs Harbour)I write in reply to the anonymous article The Name of God in the last issue. The author listed a number of texts preceded by the statement: After wrestling with these doubts in my mind, I decided to be guided by Gods Word, and sat down and searched the scriptures for some light on this subject. I did not find just one name but a number of names. I agree wholeheartedly that we should be guided by the Scriptures in this important matter. But unfortunately the author has been misled by the dishonesty of the translators who have substituted the word Lord for the Tetragrammaton. The word Lord bears no relationship to the meaning of the Tetragrammaton, it is not a translation but a blatant substitution on level with the replacement of the Sabbath with Sunday worship - check this for yourself. We must never forget that in English we have translations only, we must always check back to the real thing, the Hebrew, to find the truth.
If we examine these same texts with the Tetragrammaton restored and improved translation I am sure you will see a different conclusion.EX. 3:14 I will be what I will be - Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, I will be sent me to you.
The Hebrew phrase here translated as I will be what I will be is eyeh asher eyeh and it is a statement by the Heavenly Father about Himself. Yes, it is His personal name, but it is in the first person. It means, as the author of the article correctly points out, that He will fulfil ALL our needs, He will become whatever and whoever we need - Saviour, Healer, Provider, etc.
EX. 3:15 YHWH, Mighty One of your fathers, the Mighty One of Abraham, the Mighty One of Yitzchak, the Mighty One of Yaakov, has sent to you. This is My name forever and My remembrance to all generations.
YHWH, the Tetragrammaton, is the I will be statement in the third person and present tense - He is or The Existent One.
YHWH is the name by which we can call upon our Creator - it is used around 7,000 times in Scripture.
EX. 6:3 I appeared to Abraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaakov, as El Shaddai (Mighty One All Powerful). And My name YHWH did I not reveal Myself to them?
This verse has been sorely mistranslated in the past. The Hebrew does not say that El Shaddai is a name, rather it is the role in which YHWH revealed Himself to the fathers.
EX. 34:14 For YHWH, whose name is jealous, is a jealous Mighty One.
This text does not mean that we are to call Him by the name Jealous. Rather it means that His name - YHWH - is a jealous name. How is it jealous? It means that He fills ALL our needs, it leaves NO ROOM for other mighty ones! Read the first command - EX. 20:3.
DE. 28:58 ....to fear this esteemed and awesome name, YHWH, your Mighty One.PS. 68:4 Sing to the Mighty One, sing praises to His name. Raise up a highway for Him who rides through the deserts, by His name Yah and exult before Him.
Yah (YH) is simply an abbreviation of YHWH, it is used in verse, and in personal names (EliYah, IsaYah, etc.), though the more common abbreviation is Yahu (YHW) as in Yahushaphat (Jehoshaphat), Yahudah (Judah), etc.
IS. 47:4 Our Redeemer, YHWH of hosts is His name, the Set-apart One of Israel.IS.57:15 For thus declares the high and exalted One who dwells forever, whose name is set-apart (holy).
Again this does not mean that we are to call Him Holy, rather that His name, YHWH, is holy (set-apart). Read the third command - EX. 20:7.IS. 54:5 For your Maker is your husband, YHWH of hosts is His name, and Set-apart One of Israel is your Redeemer. He is called the Mighty One of all the earth.
All these verses point to our Heavenly Father having only one personal name. Yes He has many, many titles, which can be called names, but these are not the same as a personal name as they demonstrate particular roles that He fills at certain times. But His personal name demonstrates His all-encompassing character, and does so for all time.
I agree with the author, that being children, we like Yahushua can approach Him as Abba (Father), and indeed should do so. But this does not remove the fact that our Father has a name, a name which we can use to introduce Him to a world that is ignorant of Him. For it is only by His name YHWH that He is differentiated from the false mighty ones of the pagan world.
Yes, there is confusion as to how the Tetragrammaton is to be pronounced, but it is not true that it is without vowels, Josephus wrote that the name was composed of four vowels, yes vowels, not consonants! The three Hebrew letters that make up the name, Yod, He, and Waw (Vav), while they are used as consonants, actually function more often as long vowels. This means that these letters are self contained and can be pronounced without added vowel points (which only came along a few hundred years ago anyway). Clement testified that the name was pronounced Iaoue, but this was in Greek where there is no H sound.seoj We know from personal names in Scripture that the first three letters (YHW) are pronounced Yahu. Hence the most probable pronunciation is Yahueh (Yah-hoo-eh), though Yahu(h) (silent h), and Yahweh (Yah-weh, not Yah-way), are also possible. The important point is that the pronunciation must convey the correct meaning of He is- Yahueh or Yahu do that.
As mentioned earlier, the removal of the name was a sin comparable to that of the institution of Sunday worship. The third command says: You do not bring the name of YHWH your Mighty One to nought (nothing), for YHWH does not cleanse from guilt the one who brings His name to nought. Deut. 12:2-4 says Completely destroy all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing served their mighty ones...And you shall cut down the carved images of their mighty ones and shall destroy their name out of that place. Do not do so to YHWH your mighty One. The translators followed on from the lead of the Rabbis to replace the name of the Creator with the names of pagan deities in the Scriptures, removing the true name from peoples lips and memories. Their is no reason for us to continue in this sin. It is time to return to YHWH and restore His name to its rightful place.
