Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words

Hawah- A modern Hebrew word: havah, means “to be” (Strong’s #1933).

             “To exist,” (Strong’s #1934).  Part of God’s name

YAH-Hawah,  “YAHAWAH.”

Hovah- means “Ruin, Mischief, and Calamity,” (Strong’s #1942, #1943). 

             Part of the name Jehovah, which means “Ruin, Mischief, and  

             Calamity.”  Jehovah is a concoction of the Hebrew vowels of the Hebrew word for God, “Eloah” (e-o-a), Placed onto the Tetragrammaton YHWH,  Anglo-Latinized to JHVH, thus  JeHoVaH.  God never revealed the name “Jehovah.”

YAH - Means “I AM,” due to the Hebrew having no corresponding letter for J.    

            The following is incorrect: Jah and Iah.  The Hebrew letter Yod, for Y.

            Strong's Hebrew: 3050. יָהּ (YAH=I AM) -- the name of the God of Israel

            YAH is “the name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9).

        Halleluyah means “Praise YAH!”

        “Behold, God is my salvation,

                   I will trust and not be afraid;

                  ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;

                   He also has become my salvation’” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV).

                   “Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

                   Extol Him who rides on the clouds,

                   By His name Yah, and rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4 NKJV).

                   The Messiah has “the name which is above every name”, which is, “YAH.”

                   YAHSHUA said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58).  I AM=YAH.

                   YAHSHUA means, “I AM Salvation.”  Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name       

                   under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

HAYAH - meaning, “the I AM.” To exist, (Strong’s #1961). God answers

            Moses, “[the I AM] HaYAH [Who]Ashar [the I AM] HaYAH” 

            (Exodus 3:14).  God did not say, ‘Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh.’ 

HAYAH - Has been mistakenly tied to the name Jehovah, a euphonious name

            For God (see Strong’s # 1962). Therefore the words ruin, and     

                  mischief are false definitions and not related to the definition of    

                 HaYAH, however, Jehovah does mean ruin, mischief, and calamity.

Jehovah - is a Latinization of the HebrewTetragrammaton יהוה‎ (YHWH), this name is an improper name of the God of Israel and has no place in the Hebrew Scriptures, or any Bible, whether Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or English. The Hebrew letters Yod, Hey, Waw, Hey, the Tetragrammaton יהוה is the name of God in Hebrew and a form of God's name in Christianity with the essential name YAH-AWAH.

The growing consensus among scholars is that the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Torah (6th century BCE) is most likely Yahawah.  The pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai ('Lord'). The Hebrew vowel points of Eloah (e-o-a) were added to the Tetragrammaton by Jewish scribes to remind the readers in the synagogues not to attempt to pronounce the name of God but to say, “Adonai,” instead. Thus around the 12th century CE, Roman Catholic clerics, being ignorant of the practice, inaccurately transliterated the Tetragrammaton with these added vowels of another word as 

Yehowah. Thus, the derived forms Iehouah, and Jehovah first appeared in the 17th century.  Recently, the name Jehovah is modified, in some circles, to Yehovah (see Strong’s #3068).

Yehovih - (see Strong’s #3069) This is the Tetragrammaton יהוה

With the vowels of Elohim (e-o-i), which caused Yehovih.

From: Word + Vowels = Modified name for God

       Adonai + a-o-ai = YAHWAIH, shortened to YAHWEH.

       Elohim + e-o-i = Yehovih

       Eloah + e-o-a = Yehovah
