Yahweh in modern translation integrated with another word has made the hybrid Jehovah.
It means I am the one, or I am what I am.
In the Old Testament, God was called YHWH, pronounced Yahweh by most scholars; the exact pronunciation of the name was lost because it was rarely enunciated. In its place was read Adonai ("Lord"). The written combination of the tetragrammaton YHWH with the vowels of Adonai was traditionally rendered as Jehovah in English Bibles. Although the meaning of YHWH is disputed, it is frequently translated as "He who is" and probably designates YHWH as creator. In ISLAM, ALLAH stands for a similar notion.

What a brave Question. And much more serious than some of the Participants here care to comment about. I believe you because you have got a point. Orgasm is a sexual experiment. Sex means the union of the male and the female. This Sexual endeavour is evidently and plainly, part of the History of Humanity since the very beginning. There is a Mystery around the fact that we had to be parted and became two halves. The man half, and the female half. The Reunion and or Union of the two halves are ultimately and awesomely important. In order to perpetuate a kind of Energy or Force, that keeps us all on this Planet Earth. For good or bad. That's a matter of opinion. Yes, there is a hidden but very powerful presence of sexual phraseology in all Religions. And in all our Cities, for that matter. An Obelisk, for instance, is a Phallic symbol. The Islamic custom to throw stones, pebbles unto a huge black square, is also about building up Energy. From White to Black. (see below). The Virgin Nuns of the Catholic Church, (dressed in White and Black as well, most of them), are the Spouses of Christ, and are building up Energy. Their Ancestors were the Vestals, the guardians of the Sacred Fire of the Temples. The Vestals. although called Virgins because not married, had a duty to sexual union with the honorables of the City. Etc. There are so many examples like these that go back in time. The Rose of the Rosicrucians, is a Venusian Rose, and is very much about this sexual Union. The Rose is Libra. It is the "Lady". When the colour Red is Aries, and is the "Lord". Shakespeare takes his name from the past White and Black Knights who were competing in tournamentts, to win the preference of the Lady. Le Roman de la Rose. There you go. The Chess game is related to this. The Black and White tiles in our Churches, Cathedrals, Town halls, and town Malls (!), are also over present in the Freemasons Temples. For a reason. It is the Yin and Yang symbolism. Male and Female again. The division, that keeps life present on Earth. The Reunion or Reconciliation of the TWO in ONE, conquers "gravity" and next we can fly. The Androgynous is the truly liberated man. See the Tarot Card "the Universe", where the androgynous figure stands and dances, at the center of an Oval shape, which is the middle part of the Vesica Pisces, which are two rings interwoven. Incidentally, the four oppositing and separating Beasts (Leo and Aquarius, and Taurus and Scorpio), are kept aside, now disarmed. And there is much more about this. But I must stop. A very controversial and delicate Question. I understand its unpopularity. Take care. EDIT : A warm thank you to naomieke. Your knowledge is remarkable and very much appreciated. You made my day.

YHWH is a Hebrew name meaning "I Am" . It was the covenant name of God.This word was so important to the ancient Hebrews that they would not pronounce it. Whenever a scribe had to write it down,they first bathed and put on a new robe,then wrote the letters in red ink.

YHWH is the name of God, pronunciation was lost but our Lord Jesus Christ teach as how to pray just simple called YHWH our father, the true meaning of YHWH is causes to became, because he is the father and causes to became. YaHWeH is not the name of God because they put Vowels a and e to pronounce and also never Jehovah why? because there is no letter J in the hebrew alphabet.

The name YHWH (יהוה) is made of hebrew vowels and it is unreadable because the name is not supposed to be pronounced (whenever you see this name in the bible you should say "Adonay", or "Hashem").

"Yahweh" is the Roman pronunciation of these four letters. The Hebrew pronunciation is "Yehowah".

The meaning of this name is unknown but it is mostly certain that it comes from the root H.W.H, means: to become.
YHWH is probably a combination of "to become" in all three tenses in Hebrew: past (Hayah: was) present (Howeh: is) and future (Yihiyeh: will be).

In hebrew all the letters are consonants and the vowels are added around them, if you've ever seen the writing you know what I mean. It might come from that, the vowels aren't usually added in common writing only if it's meant for children or people learning.
It's one of god's hebrew names.
