Best Answer

The name of the Mighty One of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is transliterated into the English letters YHWH. His name is a combination of 2 "to be" verbs in Hebrew, "haYaH" and "haWaH." This means "I AM that I AM.

His name is pronounced "YaH-oo-ah."

Christianity has largely been content not to worry about the name of God, and the vast majority of Christians are happy to refer to God as that, if they are English speakers. Arab Christians use the word Allah to refer to God, and there are French, German and Italian words. After protestant clergy began to routinely take Hebrew classes, they began to speculate about the pronunciation of the 4-letter name of God used in the Hebrew Bible. This is called the Tetragrammaton. The challenge is, Jews stopped pronouncing it when the Romans destroyed the Temple in the year 70, and before then, the High Priest only pronounced the name once a year on Yom Kippur. Since then, Jews have not pronounced the name, substituting ha-Shem (meaning the name) in secular conversation and Adonai (my Lord) in prayer. So, Christians have been left to speculate. In the 19th century, Jehovah was the popular choice. This is almost laughable, not being a possible conjugation of the verb to be in Hebrew -- and the Tetragrammaton is almost certainly a variant of that. In the 20th century, modern theologians have a more plausible pronunciation, usually spelled "Yahweh." There is no tradition to support this, it remains a supposition. When Christians use this name, Jews generally feel uncomfortable and edge away. So those who do use this name are, perhaps unknowingly, excluding Jews out of their audience.
