"The tetragrammaton, YHWH, is read I-eH-U-A (Iehoua), the equivalent of "YeHoWaH" in Masoretic punctuation. This means that the name is to be pronounced as it is written, or according
to its letters."
"Samaritan poetry employs the Tetragrammaton and then rhymes it with words having the same sound as Yah-oo-ay (three syllables)." -(Journal of Biblical Literature, 25, p.50 and Jewish Encyclopedia, vol.9, p.161).
"The original form of the divine name was almost certainly three syllables, NOT two. The accumulated data points heavily in the direction of a "three" syllable word." - George W. Buchanan
"in the syllable division of the divine name it would have ended up as Jahoweh, a form...remarkably like the...form Jehovah" -Laird Harris; The Pronunciation of the Tetragram
"Thus the form Yahweh is an incorrect hybrid form with an early 'w' and a late 'eh'. " -The Law and the Prophets, ed. by John H. Skilton, Milton C. Fisher, and Leslie W. Sloat
When the vowel points are added to these four consonants, the word is pronounced literally as Yehovah, or the Anglicized form, Jehovah. This is the straightforward pronunciation with the vowels.
Hebrew: YeHoWaH
English: JeHoVaH Six different Hebrew spellings of the Tetragrammaton are found in:
The Leningrad Codex of 1008-1010 A.D. as shown below
Chapter & Verse Hebrew Spelling Transliteration Codex L. Link Explanation Genesis 3:14יְהֹוָהYehovah[1] This is the most common set of vowels, which are essentially the vowels from Adonai (with the hataf patah reverting to its natural state as a shwa). Judges 16:28יְהוָהYehwah[2] This is the same as above, but with the dot over the holam/waw left out, because it is a little redundant. Judges 16:28יֱהֹוִהYehowih*[3] When the Tetragrammaton is preceded by Adonai, it receives the vowels from the name Elohim instead. The hataf segol does not revert to a shwa because doing so could lead to confusion with the vowels in Adonai. Genesis 15:2יֱהוִהYehwih*[4] Just as above, this uses the vowels from Elohim, but like the second version, the dot over the holam/waw is omitted as redundant. 1 Kings 2:26יְהֹוִהYehowih[5] Here, the dot over the holam/waw is present, but the hataf segol does get reverted to a shwa. Ezekiel 24:24יְהוִהYehwih[6] Here, the dot over the holam/waw is omitted, and the hataf segol gets reverted to a shwa.

No. Christ is Greek for "anointed one" the same as the Hebrew word messiah. Jehovah was a mistranslation of YHWH (ancient Hebrew did not write vowels). Modern scholars believe that it was pronounced 'Yahweh', but it came to be considered too holy to speak so the vowel points are uncertain. Jewish tradition is to read the work Adonai in place of YHWH out of respect for the name of God.

How do you pronounce the Hebrew tetragrammation?
The ancient name of God, as used in the Book of Genesis, 'YHWH', is known as the tetragrammaton. Ancient Hebrew writing did not have vowels or vowel indicators, and it is sometimes difficult to determine what vowels were used in the spoken language and therefore how words were pronounced. Most scholars say that it was pronounced 'Yahweh'. This was translated into German as 'Jehovah', a word which has since entered the English language.
