What did Jehovah witness?

Jehovah didn't witness, e.i. SEE, anything.
To witness is to give testimony. Martyr also means to witness. You give witness with your very life.
To witness to Jehovah is to give your testimony about Him. Jehovah is a corruption of the Hebrew name for God - Yahweh.
That's why Jehovah's Witnesses go door to door, "witnessing" to God.

I am one of Jehovah's Witness, and i think achtung_heiss summed it up quite nicely. We are witnesses of Jehovah. That's why you always hear it being said "I am ONE Jehovah's Witnesses", or "Jehovah's Witnesses." Never Jehovah has witnessed or Jehovah witness. It is always pronounced in a plural form.

It is God Jehovah's people who do the witnessing. It is the Almighty's personal name, past acts, present glory, and future purposes which these people witness and about which they bear witness.
(Isaiah 43:10) “You are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah
(Isaiah 43:12) So you are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “and I am God.
(Hebrews 12:1-2) Because we have so great a cloud of [Jehovah's] witnesses surrounding us, let us also put off every weight and the sin that easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus
(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness”

Jehovah's Witness?
I always took that as they were witnesses to Jehovah.

Jehovah witnessed several things from Genesis until now. Jehovah was YHWH, Lord, i.e. he was Jesus.
