Etymology

The word 'Jehovah' is a Latinized form of the Hebrew name for God, YHWH. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the name YHWH is considered too sacred to be pronounced, and is often replaced with the word 'Adonai'. The name Jehovah arose from the combination of the consonants of YHWH with the vowels of 'Adonai', resulting in the name Jehovah. The use of the name Jehovah in English translations of the Bible became popular in the 16th century with the publication of the King James Version.
