"The Tetragrammaton" is the term used to describe the four Hebrew characters (" הוהי ") of the Divine Name. The four characters are generally transliterated (that is, a Roman character familiar to readers of English is shown for the sound of each Hebrew character) as "YHWH" and pronounced something similar to "Yahweh" or "Yehowah". It is relatively straightforward to guess how the Hebrew pronunciation "Yehowah" became translated into the English pronunciation "Jehovah" more than 400 years ago.
The King James Version uses the name "Jehovah" four times (Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18; Isaiah 12:2; 26:4). A few place-names which include "Jehovah" are also left intact (see Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24).
The shortened form of "Jehovah" is "Jah". KJV uses "Jah" at Psalm 68:4, and within the exclamation "Hallelu-jah" (or "Alleluia"), which literally means "praise Jah" (see Revelation 19:1-6).

God has no name. He is the Creator, I call him "God".
By the way, "Jehovah" is an English corruption of the Hebrew "Yahweh", meaning "I Am". It was never intended to be a name. Why would God have a name to being with? Who did he talk to before the creation?

I invented my own god, or he revealed himself to me. His name is AurL which means Golden Light, and he is Original Consciousness, the Creator of the Cosmos. He escaped as Consciousness from Ain -- No-Thing, the unknowable, what we may recognize as the Abyss -- and knows not why he is the All, thus the Creative Force. Because he knows not why or who he is, he requires no adoration, worship, or obeisance. "Primal Cause id Unknowable", thus, AurL is who he is because he is!
