Jehovah is the name given to God. Or, more accurately, the name by which God revealed himself to Moses. Jehovah is an Anglicised version of Jah Weh - 'I am'.
Exodus 3: 14-15:
"God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
Thus Jehovah is the name given to God. However, to the Jew this name was inutterable, nor could it be writen down as it was regarded as too holy. Instead, they replaced God's name Yah Weh with 'Adonai' meaning 'Lord'.
In a Bible today, wherever you see the word 'Lord' in the Old Testament (for example, there are dozens of times in the prophets, especially Isaiah) where the word 'Lord' is written with a large capital 'L' and small capitals 'ORD' this means 'Adonai', and, in turn, Yah Weh, 'I am'.
Depending on which version or translation of The Bible you are using, you will find the name Jehovah in almost 7000 places, in 100's of places, in 4 places, or in no places. And sometimes it will only be mentioned in a footnote or two.
For example, in the American Standard Version(precursor of the Revised Standard Version), God's personal name, Jehovah, is found in almost 7000 places.
In the King James Version, it is found in 4 places: Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2, and Isaiah 26:4. (Sadly, the New King James Version has removed it altogether.)
In the Douay Version, it is found only in an extensive footnote at Exodus 6:3.
The Jerusalem Bible uses "Yahweh" (God's Hebrew name) throughout, starting at Genesis 2:4.
The Bible in Living English (S. T. Byington) uses God's name all through the Hebrew scriptures.
In The Holy Scriptures (J. N. Darby), the name Jehovah appears throughout the Hebrew scriptures as well as in many footnotes in the Christian Grrek scriptures, starting with Matthew 1:20.
In The New English Bible, the name Jehovah appears at Genesis 22:14; Exodus 3:15; 6:3; 17:15; Judges 6:24; and Ezekiel 48:35.
So, I might suggest you do as I did - go to thrift stores and purchase any and every different Bible translation or version you can find and add them to your collection. You will find them invaluable for your own personal studies.

Why do they call it Jehovah's Witness?
Jehovah's Witnesses have taken their name from a passage in the bible. Isaiah 43:10 reads : "You are my witnesses is the utterance of Jehovah" they adopted the name in 1931 (prior to that they were simply called 'bible students') and they did so because they view their primary purpose as being witnessing or speaking about God. God's name in the bible is "Jehovah" (and English rendering of the Hebrew YHWH) as found in Psalms 83:18 (see King James Vesion).
