You will have to start your search with the" tetragrammeton " in your dictionary or encyclopedia.
Most translators of the King James Bible took God's personal name out and replaced it with either upper case or lower case capital LORD; Lord. So the reader would know there has been a change. Where ever you see LORD God it should be rendered Jehovah God as in Ps 83:18 or Ex 6:3,6
You will notice that when ever they are refering to Jesus the title Lord is never fully upper cased, but when refering to Jehovah God there will be either upper or lower letters to his title. Jesus has many titles, but one title he does not have is
" Amighty God " Only Jehovah God has that title.
Trying to teach the trinity doctrine the translators got stuck when it came to Ps 110:1, where it says the Lord spoke unto the Lord sit at my right hand and I will put my enemies at your feet.
It should render Jehovah said unto Jesus sit at my right hand.................
So you really have to pay attention to capitals and why they are used, remember Lord, Prince, King, Almighty, Mighty, All powerfull and so on in the Bible are titles or to be more correct
they are descriptive titles to a personal name.

Capital letters in Apostolics is giving stress or due worthiness to GOD.
Capital GOD means GOD ALMIGHTY.
Lowercase god is any god and any other god besides GOD ALMIGHTY is no GOD at all but a man made god.

Personally, I capitalize out of respect. If I were to write your name, out of respect for you, I would capitalize the first letter.I have been taught this as proper language skills. I capitalize the name of Father God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit out of great respect and love and I wish to convey this to anyone who reads my answer.
