Yahweh as written in early biblical Hebrew is represented by the letters YHWH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, waw, hei". Modern Hebrew pronunciations are a little different and the same Hebrew letters would now be represented in English as YHVH "yud, hei, vav, hei".
Notice that this spelling does not include vowels, so there is uncertainty both as to the pronunciation and, particularly as to the original meaning, if any, since this would depend on the missing vowels. Some think it would translate as 'I am' or various rather similar alternatives. If, as recent scholarship suggests, YHWH is the Hebrew variant of the Midian storm god, YHW, then there may be no underlying meaning.
German scholars translated the Hebrew name Yahweh into German as Jehovah, and this entered the English language late in the nineteenth century as a translation for Yahweh.
