耶和華 （英語： Jehovah，又作 Yehovah 或 Yehowah），對 希伯來聖經 中的 希伯來語： יְהֹוָה ‎，或是 四字神名 （希伯來語： יהוה ‎，YHWH，YHVH）加上 母音，進行拉丁化而产生的一个 专有名词。 原是 猶太教 尊奉的 神名，也是 基督教中的神 [a]，可譯作 雅威 、亞威、亞呼威或上主。 希伯来四字圣名按照猶太教的傳統尊為至聖，隨便讀寫這個字成為忌諱。 希伯來聖經在公元前二世紀翻譯為希臘文的“ 七十士譯本 ”，將這個字翻譯成“主”（希臘語： κύριος，音kurios），許多 …

Interestingly, the translators in a footnote make the following observation: “The Hebrew consonants are YHWH, probably pronounced Yahweh, but traditionally read Jehovah.” Even more to the point is what the noted English Bible scholar J. B. Rotherham has to say on this subject.

“Jehovah” (Heb., יהוה, YHWH), God’s personal name, first occurs in Ge 2:4. The divine name is a verb, the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Hebrew verb הוה (ha·wahʹ, “to become”). Therefore, the divine name means “He Causes to Become.”
