It is often incorrectly pronounced Jehovah.

Exodus6;3 'And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.'
(Je‧ho′vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha‧wah′ (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”].
“Jehovah” is the best known English pronunciation of the divine name, although “Yahweh” is favoured 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 הוהי and may be transliterated into English as YHWH (or, JHVH).
Jehovah is the English pronunciation. Jesus would be either Yehoh‧shu′a‛ (as in Hebrew) or I‧e‧sous′ (as in Greek).

Yahveh (YHVH, I am), Jeovah is a derivation but in various parts he's called Elohim, plural of God so some say it's not monotheism but there are other interpretations about this. these two names maybe belong to two different traditions but in our version there isn't a difference in names. God is also called El, Eloah (singular of Elohim) and from here are derived Allah and Israel. he's also called Adonai, Lord but not as a name.

We call him so many, but I don't think he really has a name. He is not human, so why would he need one. We call him names so we can feel we have something tangible.
But one of the first mentioned in the Bible is Elohim or Elohay, meaning strength or power.

Zeus. Eros. Aphrodite. Paganism predates Islam and Christianity.
Though if you want to get into Paleolithic beliefs, you could go back prior to written language, and nobody knows what they named their deities.
Remember, even the Neanderthals buried their dead in caves. If they prayed to gods, we don't know the names.

according to taoism: "the name that can be spoken is not the true name"
according to judaism "yehowah" which should never be spoken out loud. If you need a name to speak you say adonai instead.

I don't have hebrew letters on my keyboard, but HWHY-and you have to read it backwards because hebrew is written righ to left. An Anglosized version of that would be Jehova.
