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).
