YHWH is also called the tetragrammaton. These are the four consonants of God's name, and there is no English translation for them. Christian bibles often translate these letters as LORD (in all capital letters). Jewish Bibles are usually written in the original Hebrew, and when the reader comes to these letters, another word is always substituted.
Because there is no certain translation of YHWH (modern Hebrew: YHVH) it is often written in English as 'Yahweh' or translated as LORD. Scholars are uncertain as to its ancient meaning, but one meaning seriously considered is 'He blows'. This is based on archaeological evidence (see Keel and Uehlinger, Gods, Goddesses, and Images of God: In Ancient Israel) that the early role of Yahweh was as the storm God. Other possibilities include 'He is'.
