With all due respect to people who dare not address God's name,
YHVH = Yud Hei Vav Hei (Hebrew)
In English translation, I have no idea. But according to Exodus, when Moses asked, God replied "I am who I am" So it could be "I am". Hope that helps.
Hebrew letters has a picture for each and is read from right to left. So actually it should be "Hei Vav Hei Yud". But because I have not study Hebrew, so cant really tell you in detail.
During Jesus cruifixion, a scribed board was on the cross: "Yeshua Hanarei Vemelekh Hayhudim" (Hebrew).
Which means "Jesus of Narareth The King of The Jews"
Upon seeing this, the Pharisees were angry wanted the board to be rewritten. The reason is: taking the first letter of each Hebrew Word, is the initial of God's name.
YHVH = Yud Hei Vav Hei

YHVH is the pronunciation of the name from Hebrew in the form of a Tetragrammaton for the name of God. Used in capitals the way we use first capitals in a name. It's translation is varied but is generally accepted to have the meaning "I am That Is", "I Shall Be What Shall Be" or "He Causes To Become" but literally it's generally accepted to mean "My Lord(s)" or "God"
It's a different language, not an acronym

This is a name you do not toss around I mind you. This is G_D's personal name. Religious or not, it is taboo to use wrongly.
It is the tetragramation of HIS name from the original scrolls and scriptures. Wilhelm Gensenius translated Hebrew to YAHWEH in 1530. YAHWEH is YHWH with consonants added so it is easier to sound out. (Yodh-Heh-Waw-Heh).
Also acceptable ha YAH asher ha YAH!
Exodus 3:14, " I AM " = YHWH
As He stated, He made man in His image. Stack His Hebrew letters on top of one another, and you have a picture of a man with a heart. Define the Hebrew names of the books in the bible, you will find His name, YAH. Look in the bible code of the Torah and realize the first 2 books point in and the last 2 books point in (back) and the center book, the code shows YHWH. His name, the tetragramma also defines as love.
His name is in scriptures and scrolls some 6800+ times. More than any other name used. God, Lord, Allah, Elohim, El.

It's called the tetragramaton. It's a transliteration of the Hebrew "Yahweh" written without vowel points.
"Yahweh" is an impersonal form of the Hebrew for "to be," and means, roughly, "that which is." It is usually translated as "I am." Most English Bibles render it as "LORD" in small caps. Some translations, notably the New World Translation, render it "Jehovah."

The letters are in Hebrew and they don't stand for something, they have multiple meanings: 'I was' 'I am' and 'I will be'
These three words in Hebrew have the root letters YHVH.

It's a gramatically awkward modification of the being verb into a future tense.
