Jehovah is God's personal name (in modern English). See Psalm 83:18 and Exodus 6:3 (footnote.) The meaning of this tetragrammaton (found almost 7000 times in the Hebrew scriptures alone) is "he causes to become", or "he will prove to be what he will prove to be." In other words, Jehovah God will do whatever is needed to fulfill all his promises and prophesies as recorded in the Bible.

The meaning of the Hebrew word, jirah, is provider, or he who provides. So, Jehovah jirah would mean (in English): Jehovah God our provider, Jehovah provides, or Jehovah has provided.
