The word Jehovah wasn't introduced until around 1270 by Raymundus Martini, a Spanish monk who used it in his book, written in the same year. The term derived from a combination YHWHand Adonay. YHWH was a well-used name that people in the Old Testament Hebrew culture used for God's name. YHWHwas also known as the Tertagrammation ("the four letters") and pronounced as Y ho wah'.

Adonay is the Hebrew word for Lord. The vowels from Adonay and the consonants from YHWH were combined, forming the term Jehovah, which was formed by the Latins.
