I've seen several Q/As that state that YHWH is misspelled or mispronounced as Jehovah. What the people who write this don’t seem to understand is the Hebrews never called Jesus, well....Jesus. Or Jehovah....well Jehovah.
The English name “Jesus,” which later employed the letter “J,” is a derivation from Greek “Iesous” and the Latin “Iesus” version.
In fact, there was no letter ‘J’ in any language prior to the 14th century in England. The letter did not become widely used until the 17th century.
Note in the original 1611 version of the King James Version of the Bible there was no “J” letter in this Bible for because it did not exist. James was spelled Iames. Jesus was spelled Iesous.
“In Late Latin Jesus was original spelled Iesus; In Greek it was spelled Ièsous; and in ancient Hebrew spelled “yÈshÙa,” which is a contraction of yehÖshÙa, meaning "helper of Jehovah." (yÀh, Jehovah + hÖshïa, to help.)
