What is the Egyptian name for Jehovah?

Ihuh is the Egyptian name for Jehovah. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Jehovah" is not even the name for god. It is a German attempt at pronouncing the Tetragrammaton in the Masoretic Hebrew scripture, however the Masoretic scribes intentionally placed the vowel points of the Hebrew word "Elohim" on the Tetragrammaton consonants instead of the correct ones (which are unknown as Jews will not pronounce it) to avoid the risk of accidentally "taking the name of god in vain" while reading the Hebrew scripture. When pronounced with these incorrect vowels the Tetragrammaton simply becomes a nonsense word.

What is the tetragrammaton in Greek?

The Yahwist source, believed to be an early contributor to the Pentateuch, used the tetragrammaton (YHWH) as the name for the God of Judah. Because early Hebrew had no vowels or vowel indicators, it is spelt with only consonants, leaving modern scholars to speculate about its real pronunciation. The consensus of most scholars is that the correct form with vowels would be 'Yahweh'. This was translated into German as 'Jehovah', a translation that is now also common in English. The tetragrammaton is now regarded simply as a name for God.The Septuagint (the original Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) uses the word for "Lord" (κύριος 'kurios') as a translation for YHWH.
