Occasionally, "Jehovah" is represented as "JHVH", although in Hebrew the Tetragrammatton's equivalent Roman letters are "YHWH". It seems unlikely that "JWH" is intended as an abbreviation for "Jehovah".
The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.
The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".
(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth
(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

I have seen JWH used for the named Jehovah, just like JVH and I find it interesting that Dylan's John Wesley Harding was put together as a result of his being in a motorcycle wreck almost breaking his neck and having to recuperate and his place is just down the road from the main printing facility of the Jehovah's Witnesses and i can't help but imagine that during this time here was dylan and there was a knock on the door and it be the JWHs and then he put together this here album and one of the songs is called .... along along the watchtower

God's name is YHWH in hebrew , which means "he causes to become" the english traslation is Jehovah
i dont know what JWH stands for but JW is usually to abbreviate Jehovah's Witnesses

I can't imagine where you would get Jehovah out of JWH. It would be helpful to know the context - for example, where you saw it or heard the initials...something like that.

JW is usually for Jehovah's Witnesses, but I have never heard of JWH! And for annysweety, what on earth have Witnesses done to you personally to cause that sort of reaction out of you? Did we steal the firstborn in the family and trade him out for one of our babies like they used to say Gypsies did? LOL
