Jehovah isn't his name it is a title.
It is called the unspeakable name, because God told them not to take his name in vain. This is because the name of God has power. Since it is so powerful to speak it nonchalantly causes a "waste" of the power of his name. The people back in Moses' day were so scared of taking that name in vain, the never spoke it. They called him Jehovah, or the God. The would not even write it. If they felt it necessary to write it they left out letters.
People too freely speak the name of Christ now days (myself included.) We should hold it more sovereign than we do. There is power in the name of Christ.

his name is Jehovah which literally means "He Causes to Become" meaning he makes his will become reality.
People stopped saying his name after Jesus and the apostles died as a superstition, they thought that if they said the name wrong that God would punish them. Many people now think that Gods name is God.

Jehovah is his name. and the only reason why its "unspeakable" is because the jews got scared of using and saying they werent sure how to prounce it. but if you think about it. if they couldnt prounce it why do they prounce Jesus. it has the same appication.

In truth the sound our mouths make is irrelevant, the name of God can not be spoken but it can be experienced, the heart in silent reverence knows.

God's name is, "I am that I am", The etymology is YHVH, pronounced: Y(a)H(a)V(e)H.
This means that he is what ever he wants to be, with no beginning and no end.
