Yes, that is the English translation of His name.
The bible writer Luke quotes from Psalm 132:11 and Isaiah 9:7, which both refer to 'the Father' by name as "הוהי" or "Jehovah".
(Luke 1:31-32) You are to call his name Jesus. This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High; and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father [see Ps 132:11 and Isa 9:7]
Interestingly, this passage from Luke also clarifies that Jehovah is "the Most High" and "the Father" of Jesus.

Jehovah is an English transcription of ×Ö°×Ö¹×Ö¸×, which is a specific vocalized spelling of ×××× (i.e. the Tetragrammaton) that is found in the Masoretic Text. It means God. All hate and fear and evil comes from God.
Christians attempt to worship Father in heaven who is the attempt at love and comfort and goodness from that same God. Sometimes this love is called Lord or I Am by some Christians.

The MOST famous name for God in the OT is called the Sacred Tetragrammaton –It is YHWH.
Yahweh was changed into Jehovah by Christians -- Mark 12:29
Harpers Bible Dictionary says that the name JEHOVAH was "the result of the translators' ignorance of the Hebrew language and customs" (1985 edition , p. 1036)
Jehovah is a mistaken name of YHWH.
The Book "World Religions From Ancient History to the Present" says : "The name Jehovah is a medieval misreading and does not occur in the Hebrew Bible" (edited by Geoffrey Parrinder, p. 386)
The Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible says the name Jehovah is "an artificial name" (vol. 2, p.817)
Asimovs Guide to the Bible says that the name Jehovah "arose by mistake" (vol 1, p. 135). The author further says : "This mistake has persisted and will probably continue to persist" (p.135)
"When it came to God's name instead of putting the proper vowel signs around it, in most cases they put other vowel signs to remind the reader that he should say "Adonai". From this came the spelling Lehouah, and eventually Jehovah ...(pg. 8 ,Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, 1984)
"The truth is , nobody knows for sure how the name of God was originally pronounced". -(page 7- Watchtower Bible and Tract Soceity, 1984.)
The name Yahweh is derived from the statement God made to Moses in Exodus 3:14. Moses asked God as to what his name was and he got the reply -- "ehyeh esher ehyeh" .
The editors of the NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE explain this as : "The Hebrew can be translated literally 'I am what I am' , which would mean that GOD did not wish to reveal his name to them" (p. 85)
"The truth is , nobody knows for sure how the name of God was pronounced" (Pg. 7 - Watchtower Bible and Tract Society)
Is the name you are using in your prayers the name of God or a manmade name of God ?

In Christianity, God comes in 3 forms. Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
Lord Jehovah is just one of the names of the Father. He also have other names such as El Shaddai. El Shaddai is Hebrew for Lord Most High.
Jehovah is also known as Yahweh in Hebrew. Pronounced as Yah-Hweh.

Only of the ones who act like Him. Others are, as Jesus said, "of your father the devil."

Sure if they are born of His Spirit.
To Be A SON OF GOD:
"But as many as received him (Jesus), TO THEM he gave the power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe in his name, which were born.... not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God"- (John 1:12)
