Note the last syllable of the word “Hallelujah”. That syllable is "jah".
The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) seems to accurately pronounce the divine name, but 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 shortened form of "Jehovah" is used 91 times in the original manuscripts of the bible; it is simply "Jah".
Thus the expression "hallelujah" means literally "Praise Jah" or "Praise Jehovah".
This helps to emphasize that 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", or "Jah" for short.
(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

It means ten-thousand praises to God. It does appear in the Bible, four times in Revelation 1:1-6. The correct English spelling of the word is Alleluia. It is appropriate to be physically expressive when using the word.

No it isn't a santa claus thing...
Hallelujah comes from the Hebrew (hallelu-yah) and originally meant "praise Yahve with jubilation"...
It is used to replace "Praise the Lord" or "Praise be to God"
Often simply used as an exclamation of joy .

the word actually is Halleluia or Hallelujah which means praise to JaH short for Jehovah or Yahweh. check out the meaning in Wikipedia. Praise The Lord !

They remove Jehovah's precious name from their bible translations but seem oblivious to the fact that "Hallelujah"
means "Praise Jah" - "Jah" being a shortened form of "Jehovah"
You could try Rev.19:1 and Ps.104:35

Hallelujah comes from Hebrew and means "praise Yahweh."

It's a jubilant term which means praise be to God. It's similar to "alhamdulillah" in Arabic, which means pretty much the same thing.

It's just what ronnlynn and serf said.
It's the Hebrew expression for prasing Yahweh. Which is the name they gave to God. So it's saying Praise God!
