What is the origin of the word "JEHOVAH"?
550510
An anglicized pronunciation of the Hebrew tetragrammaton, YHWH, which are the four consonant letters used to spell God’s name in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14). The Hebrews considered the name of God too holy to pronounce and susbstituted the word “Lord” (adonai) when the text was read. The vowels of the word “adonai” was combined with YHWH to get the word “Jehovah” which was first used in the 12th century. A more accurate pronunciation of YHWH would be “Yahweh.

The origins of the word "religion" have been debated for centuries. Some explanations for the origin of the word are:\n\n    * re-reading--from Latin re (again) + legio (read), referring to the repetition of scripture.\n    * treating carefully--from Latin relegere (Cicero's interpretation) 'to go over again' or to carefully ponder.\n    * re-connection to the divine--from Latin re (again) + ligare (to connect, as in English ligament). This interpretation is favoured by modern scholars such as Tom Harpur, but probably originated with St. Augustine.\n    * to bind or return to bondage--an alternate interpretation of the "reconnection" etymology, possibly also originating with Augustine but emphasising a sense of servitude to God. However, the bondage interpretation, while popular with critics of religion, is often considered imprecise and possibly offensive in many modern religious contexts.\n    * concerning a gathering--from Latin ablative res (with regard to) + legere (to gather). More emphatically, religion concerns an organization.\n\nDespite the variety of possible etymologies, what is clear about the word "religion" is that its religious connotations (in the sense of denoting gods, morality, afterlife, etc.) were not a part of the term's Latin precursors — suggesting that today's common understanding of such terms as religion, religious, and religions may be peculiarly modern, notably Euro-based words and concepts.

"God" is a title.  Most christians unknowingly follow an old jewish custom of not saying God's name, which in english is Jehovah.\n\nMost modern day translations of the Bible have taken the name out and replaced it with GOD, LORD, or other such titles.  Most bibles even explain their reasonings in the forward.\n\nYou can actually find the name used in the King James Version at Psalm 83:18, Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 12:2, and Isaiah 26:4

we believe that Jehovah is the Most Holy Father and he sent his first creation to earth Jesus Christ to die for our sins. without Jehovah God we would not have Jesus Christ. we are not a cult, we are a religion. we do what Jesus commanded us to do at Matthew 28 verse 19 and 20. we are also told to love our neighbors as we want to be treated. we don't go to war because we are all brothers and sisters. also Jesus Christ never said he was God but was the son of God.

In Latin it is Iesus or Jesus (there is no J sound in Latin though and the two are pronunced the same). That comes from the Greek Ιησούς (Iesus), which is what the New Testament was written in. He and his disciples, and basically all of the Jews at the time, spoke Aramaic, and in that language, he was called יֶשוּע (Yeshua), which is derived from the Hebrew name ֶהוֹֹשֻע (Yehoshua), usually translitterated as Joshua.

Occasionally, "Jehovah" is represented as "JHVH", although in Hebrew the Tetragrammatton's equivalent Roman letters are "YHWH". It seems unlikely that "JWH" is intended as an abbreviation for "Jehovah".\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Superstition.\n\nIt's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". If we want a familiar and close relationship, however, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nSome argumentative persons will argue that the Hebrew name “Yahweh” must only be translated into English as “I am what I am”. Yet such troublemakers fail to explain why they do not translate the Hebrew name “Yeshua” into English as “Jehovah is Salvation” or “I am what I am is Salvation”, which of course their small-minded literalism must surely require with regard to the name we know as “Jesus”.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”.\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

He has just one NAME: Jehovah...the others are titles or descriptions of His qualities

Psalm 83:18 does say Gods name is Jehovah. In the original hebrew manuscripts the tetragramaton appeared almost 7000 times. Over the years many bible translators have removed the name Jehovah because some religions believe that the name is too sacred to pronounce. \n\nCould you really call someone who you don't know their name your best friend or even friend? Jehovah God tells us we can draw close to him and he wants us to use his name. \n\nOn the official web site of Jehovah's Witnesses there is a part that explains more. www.watchtower.org

This is the area where Jehovah told his people, "Jehovah's Witnesses," that he has chosen them to be his people.\nThe word of God from his own mouth!\n\nNo one else can rightly carry his name.\n\n(A loyal witness)

And not at all in the Hebrew Bible.\n\nHowever, the KJV (A.V.) almost always used the "LORD" [usually that is a large capital "L" and small capitals "ORD" to indicate it is God's name, the "I AM", the tetragrammaton, which others mis-translate as "Jehovah".

To answer this question, we need to go back to the tetragrammaton, YHWH.\n\nThese were the letters used to designate the Divine Name.  They appeared in the bible more than 6,000 times in the Old Testament alone.  The exact pronunciation has been lost, so we don't know exactly how it's pronounced.  To be fair, most of the original pronunications have been lost and all the pronunciations we have today are what they have evolved into.  With that said, the Common pronunciation of YHWH is Yahweh in Hebrew, Yah for short.  There are other pronunciations such as Yeowha, Yevah, Yeohwah, etc.\n\nThe Common English translation is Jehovah.  This name can be seen in many or the names of the bible.  EliJAH, AdoniJAH, etc.  There are many debates about the use of either name, and more people seem to prefer Yahweh to Jehovah, but my personal believe is that Yahweh is incompatable with the English translated names.  If we use the Hebrew Yahweh, then it stands to reason that we should use the Hebrew for the other names as well.\n\nJesus was NOT Jesus name in the bible.  At least, not his original name.  Jesus pertains to the son.  The NT was written in Greek, and his name was pronounced roughly Ieosous.  Christ was proncounced Christos.  Jesus is actually a degredation of the the name from Greek to our modern day English.  Yeshua, also appropriately pronounced Yehoshua, are the Hebrew forms of Ieosous, or Jesus, and are appropriately translated into Joshua.  This name means literally "Jehovah is Salvation," and is used to draw attention back to Jehovah the Supreme Being.\n\nSo Jehovah is God, Jesus is the son.  Jesus was probably there during the time the Proverbs were written, but it was most likely Jehovah who was being refered to.

THAT GODS NAME IS JEHOVAH

Even His name has changed! The letter "J" wasn't invented until 1630! Up until then, the letter "Y" was used.\nI keep trying to tell you Christian folks His name wasn't/isn't Jesus. That's simply the anglicized version of His Hebrew name.
