In Hebrew, "Most High God" is El Elyon (Genesis 14). However, that is more of an adjective than a name. God's real name in the Hebrew Bible is יהוה. Other names which refer to God are more generic (referring to God's power) and can in certain contexts refer to such authorities as judges (Exodus ch.21-22).

Over the course of the exile, the exact pronunciation of יהוה has been lost. (The usual transliterations, Jehovah or Yahweh, are inaccurate renditions based on a misunderstanding of the the way it is printed in such vocalized texts as Hebrew prayerbooks and printed Tanakhs.)
