"Jehovah" is not a Jewish name for God...
“The word "Jehovah" comes from the fact that
ancient Jewish texts used to put the vowels of the Name "Adonai" (the
usual substitute for YHVH) under the consonants of YHVH to remind people not to
pronounce YHVH as written. A sixteenth century German Christian scribe, while
transliterating the Bible into Latin for the Pope, wrote the Name out as it
appeared in his texts, with the consonants of YHVH and the vowels of Adonai,
and came up with the word JeHoVaH, and the name stuck.” From: Jewish Virtual
