Best Answer

YHVH, the Hebrew letters Yod, Heh, Vov and Heh. Possibly pronounced "Yahu" since we know that was a common usage in ancient times; definitely not pronounced "Jehovah". Most Jews know the correct pronunciation and in fact pronounce it in private prayer.

The meaning inherent in YHVH seems to be "I Am, I Was, I Will Be", which is how God defines Himself to Moses.

Jewish Answer

The Creator has one true name which is represented by the letters YHVH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, vav, hei". These four letters are referred to as the tetragrammaton and are a contraction of the Hebrew words for, "was, is, and will be". His true name was only said in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction we lost the correct pronunciation.

It is impossible to determine the correct pronunciation as the letter 'vav' has multiple potential pronunciations. In the case of the letter 'vav', the possible sounds are: 'v', 'oh', or 'oo'.

No Jew says the true name in prayer, other words are substituted instead and in daily conversation, most Jews use the word 'HaShem'. The word HaShem literally means 'The Name' and is a reference to His true name.

It depends on the time of the revelation.

The first name that God presents Moses is "Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh" which means "I will be that which I will be." Eventually Moses learns other names including "HaMelekh HaKadosh" which means "the Holy King", and the famous YHVH which is untranslatable, but would come closest to "in a perpetual nature of existence".
