Yod Hey Vav Hey (or YHVH) in the English tetragrammaton. There is no letter "W" specific to Hebrew, but the "V" and "W" are often exchanged as English often did with "J" and "Y" in its history, hence the reason we end up with Yahweh instead of the more correct Yahveh.

Is Christ the same as Jehovah of the Old Testament?

No. Christ is Greek for "anointed one" the same as the Hebrew word messiah. Jehovah was a mistranslation of YHWH (ancient Hebrew did not write vowels). Modern scholars believe that it was pronounced 'Yahweh', but it came to be considered too holy to speak so the vowel points are uncertain. Jewish tradition is to read the work Adonai in place of YHWH out of respect for the name of God.

What is God's name and what is the Hebrew name for Jesus?

YaHuWaH (YHWH) and Yahushua1) The name of the Mighty One of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is transliterated into the English letters YHWH. His name is a combination of 2 "to be" verbs in Hebrew, "haYaH" and "haWaH." This means "I AM that I AM.His name is pronounced "YaH-oo-ah." YaHuWaH is one way to write these sounds in English.2) The name "Jesus" is a Greek corruption of a fairly typical Hebrew name, Yahushua.His name was foretold in a prophecy."I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH" - Zechariah 3:8Since Moses, the people of YHWH had been waiting for the Messiah - the anointed servant of YHWH that would bring the kingdom of the Mighty One.YHWH promised, "Behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that I will raise to David a righteous BRANCH, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice upon the earth."- Jeremiah 23:5. The rest of the passage (Jeremiah 23:2-8) makes it clear that the one he calls "Branch" is the Messiah. In a prophecy about the future, YHWH gives the name of this "Branch," the name of the Messiah!The prophet Zechariah was told to approach the son of the High priest Yahozadak, named Yahushua, and tell him the following: "'Thus says YHWH of armies, "Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of YHWH. Yes, it is He who will build the temple of YHWH, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne (Zechariah 6:12-13)."YHWH through Zechariah told the world what the name of the branch would be: Yahushua! The same name as the son of the High priest!Yahushua is made of the Hebrew letters Yod-Hay-Waw-Shin-Waw-Ayin. The letters are pronounced Y-H-oo-sh-oo-ah. The first part of his name is the same as the father, Yah. In English, we would write his name Yahushua, as this correctly make the sounds of his name, and gives honor to his fathers name.The name Yahushua means "YaHuWaH is salvation."
