it depends entirely where you live. different languages have different names for him, just like your name would be different in every language. in English, its Jehovah.

I hope you want a real answer, since that what this site was designed for; you're going to get one from me. The best that scholars know is that God's name, the name He gave Himself when Moses asked, is YHVH or YHWH. Vowels weren't clearly written in ancient Hebrew, so that's the best we can do. Yehovah (Jehovah) was an earlier attempt to pronounce the YHVH. It's now considered a mistranslation. Our 'Yahweh' is what is currently believed to be the closest we get to God's name. Those same consonants are also the main letters for the ancient Hebrew for "I AM." That's true, too: God simply is, was, and always has been. Calling Himself "I am" makes perfect sense.
There are many other names for God, too, which describe some of His different characteristics: El Shaddai, El Elyon, Yahweh Jireh, Adonai, and many others. If this is a serious question of yours, go use Google to look up "names of God." You'll get a ton of interesting answers.

God
The supreme being of the universe. He is the creator of all things (Isaiah 44:24). He alone is God (Isaiah 45:21,22; 46:9; 47:8). There have never been any Gods before Him nor will there be any after Him (Isaiah 43:10). God is God from all eternity (Psalm 90:2). In Exodus 3:14, God revealed His name to His people. The name commonly known in English is Jehovah. This comes from the four Hebrew consonants that spell the name of God. (See Tetragrammaton.)
God is a Trinity, knows all things (1 John 3:20), can do all things (Jer. 32:17,27 - except those things against His nature like lie, break His word, cheat, steal, etc.), and is everywhere all the time (Psalm 119:7-12).

GOD’S NAME
The Massorah has a rubric calling attention to these first 4 acrostics. This locks in the name of God according to Hebrew and Biblical scholars. The name also being spelled backwards for Divine reasons, a subject for another time.
Est.1:20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
( shall give to their husbands honour both to great and small ) Hebrew ( Hi Vekal Hannashim Yittenu ) HVHY
Est.5:4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
( let the king and Haman come this day ) Hebrew ( Yabo Hammelek Vehaman Hayyom ) YHVH
Est.5:13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
( this availeth me nothing ) Hebrew ( zeH eynennV shoveH leY ) HVHY
Est.7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
( that there was evil determined against him ) Hebrew ( kY kalethaH elayV haraaH ) YHVH
Also a 5th acrostic of “ I am”, ( I am that I am ) Hebrew ( ehyeh asher ehyeh ) Exo.3:14
Est.7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
( Who is he, and where is he ) Hebrew ( huE zeH veeY zeH ) EHYH “I am”
The Massorah has a special rubric calling attention this acroustic.
Psa.96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Hebrew ( Yismehu Hashshamayim Vethagel Haarez ) YHVH

Considering that today's religions hide the fact that for thousands of years during the height of Egyptian Culture God was always thought to be a woman (Goddess), I say "Betty".

The Fathers name is too holy and unpronouncable so he gave us Yeshuah Jesus as the mediator and name above all names.
