A UNIQUE name I can say is: "Jehovah": It is unsual to some who do not know this name; but "unique" to many who do know this name.
The name "Jehovah" means in hebrew: “He Causes to Become”. The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Therefore no one can rightful bear that name! (Note: “I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images.” (Isa. 42:8; Ex 20:7)
“I am Jehovah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my own glory, neither my praise to graven images."-Isaiah 42:8
"For your Grand Maker is your husbandly owner, Jehovah of armies being his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Repurchaser. The God of the whole earth he will be called."-Isaiah 54:5
“Jehovah” is the best known English pronunciation of the divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored by most Hebrew scholars. The oldest Hebrew manuscripts present the name in the form of four consonants, commonly called the Tetragrammaton (from Greek te·tra-, meaning “four,” and gram´ma, “letter”). These four letters (written from right to left) are ???? and may be transliterated into English as YHWH (or, JHVH). The Tetragrammaton occurs 6,828 times in the Hebrew text printed in Biblia Hebraica and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. (See: The Emphatic Diaglott, NWT, JB,
The name of Jehovah, peculiar to the God of the Bible, is given the place of first importance throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. (See Exodus 6:3; 2 Samuel 7:23; Psalm 83:18, etc.) Christ Jesus and his followers also highlighted the importance of that name. (John 17:4, 6; 18:37; Acts 15:14) And although that name is missing from most versions of the Christian Greek Scriptures, ancient manuscripts of the Greek Septuagint show that the early Christians used the name Jehovah.
