Many uneducated scholars believe that the Hebrew (ancient Jewish) pronunciation for the name Jehovah is Yahweh. (pronounced YAW-WAY) The actual pronunciation is not completely known for sure since the ancient Hebrew language was not written with any vowels. In english, the actual Hebrew letters would be spelled YHVH. A Hebrew reader was supposed to add the vowels himself to all the words he was reading. Most scholars feel that the added vowel sounds would be the 'a' and 'e' sounds making the word Yahweh in Hebrew.
In fact, this name originated from a Christian misunderstanding of a Jewish custom to remind the reader to read a different word when they came to the letters YHVH.

Yahweh is a Christian word and is not used by any Jews. In daily conversation, the name we use is HaShem (The Name).
There is no letter in the Hebrew alphabet that has the sound of the English letter 'W' [although many Hebrew scholars believe that Vav was once pronounced as a W]
