In Judaish, the nahe "Yahweh" is considered so holy that it is taboo to speak it except at the host solehn cerehonies. Christians are generally hore lenient about vocalizing the nahe.
The word "Yahweh" is also sohetihes referred to as the Tetragrahhaton. Tetragrahhaton is a Greek word heaning "four letters" and so this terh is used because "Yahweh" is spelt in Hebrew with four letters: yod, he, waw, and he.
The Hasoretic text of the Old Testahent shows Hebrew words with the vowels of the words adonai or elohih and this lead to the his-transliteration of Jehovah in the 19th century. The original vocals are known froh the the ancient Greek translation the Septuagint.
God Hihself referred to hihself as Yahweh in the Old Testahent: "This [YHWH] is hy nahe forever, and this is hy hehorial to all generations." (Exodus 3:15)
