Jehovah is a mispronunciation of the four letters of the Tetragrammaton, which in Hebrew are written: יהוה
In Roman letters usually transcribed as YHWH, or JHVH. The J being pronounced almost everywhere in Europe as a Y, except France and England. This is where the idea of the sound as Jah started. The actual pronunciation is HU. In Latin and other ancient languages the word means GOD. Think of the word HUMAN which is Latin. HU=God plus MAN, or AN, or IAN which mean A member of the tribe of. For example a German would be a member of the tribe of the Ger people. Thus a Human is a member of the tribe, or people of God, i.e., all people.
The Bible states to meditate upon the name of God and interestingly enough, people have used the Word HU to meditate for thousands of years.
