The word Jehovah wasn't introduced until around 1270 by Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk who used it in his book, written in the same year. The term derived from a combination YHWHand Adonay. YHWH was a well-used name that people in the Old Testament Hebrew culture used for God's name. YHWHwas also known as the Tertagrammation ("the four letters") and pronounced as Y ho wah'.
Adonay is the Hebrew word for Lord. The vowels from Adonay and the consonants from YHWH were combined, forming the term Jehovah, which was formed by the Latins.

Did Charles T Russell believe that Jehovah is the true name of God?
Yes he did. But when Charles Russel was alive, 100 years or so ago, the name of Jehovah was accepted by the churches in general as well. They weren't busy trying to cover up that name like they often seem to be now. You could find the name Jehovah in church hymns, in their Bibles, being used from the pulpits in sermons, and even prominantly displayed in church art such as stained glass. The movement to get rid of the name out of Bibles, hymns, and other places, and to discontinue saying the name, is a reletively new movement, having come along in the last 50 or 60 years. .................................................................... yes he did because people started using the name of JEHOVAH !! at 1500 ,, then the bible students(also known as JEHOVAS WITNESS 1931) started at the year 1870!! sorry I'm not good in English!! hahaha!!
Where did the name Jehovah come from?
AnswerEdited explanation: Yahweh + Adonai = Jehovah. It is not in the Bible. Ever. Adonai means "the Lord". The word "yahweh" is the third person form of "hayah" and means "he is" or "he will be". Moses asked God who he should tell the Israelites sent him, and God replied, "I am who I am" (1st person), then, "Tell them 'I am has sent you' " (3rd person). Some people don't say "Yahweh" because they feel it is too holy. Jehovah, however, is a concocted word that references God and is free to be used by all.The name Jehovah is the English form of the divine name found in the ancient manuscripts of the biblical text.In the ancient Hebrew language, the name appears as four consonants, which tranliterate into English as "YHWH" or the English equivalent "JHVH."In Hebrew writing, vowels were not used, so the reader supplied the vowels as he read the text. That is why the divine name of GOD appeared as only four consonants.Today, we do not know exactly how the pronunciation was in the original Hebrew language, but many feel that "Yahweh" is perhaps how it may have sounded in Hebrew, with the vowels added. The English equivalent that is most widely accepted is "Jehovah," but this is of dubious origin. Rather, "Jehovah" is an unusual, and Western, mystico-combo-word with Catholic origins from the year 1270.Hebrew had no vowels. This was unsatisfactory to those who wanted to pronounce the unpronouncable name of God. Their solution? By combining the vowel signs of 'Adho.nay and 'Elo.him' with the four consonants of the Tetragrammaton the pronunciations Yeho.wah' and Yehowih' were formed. The first of these provided the basis for the Latinized form "Jehova(h)." The first recorded use of this form dates from the thirteenth century C.E. Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk of the Dominican Order, used it in his book Pugeo Fidei of the year 1270.As such, the form "Jehovah" is of late medieval origin; it is a combination of the consonants of the Divine Name and the vowels attached to it by the Masoretes but belonging to an entirely different word.
