(Je·ho′vah) [the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha·wah′ (become); meaning “He Causes to Become”].

The personal name of God. (Isa 42:8; 54:5) Though Scripturally designated by such descriptive titles as “God,” “Sovereign Lord,” “Creator,” “Father,” “the Almighty,” and “the Most High,” his personality and attributes—who and what he is—are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name.—Ps 83:18.

Correct Pronunciation of the Divine Name. “Jehovah” is the best known English pronunciation of the divine name, although “Yahweh” is favored 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).

They mean the same, one is in Hebrew (Yahweh) and the other is in English (Jehovah).

Many will tell you they mean 'I am', but that is a poor translation of the Hebrew.

'I will become' 'I shall become' are better translations.

Just as Jesus means 'Jehovah is Salvation'

or Jehu means 'Jehovah he is'

or Isaiah means 'Salvation is Jehovah'

The meanings are not the name.

Eccl 7:1 says a name is to be highly prized, So the name of Jehovah is to esteemed above all other names.

Yahweh is an incorrect translation of YHWH. The correct translation is Jehovah. Most Jewish scholars will not pronounce the name of YHWH because they consider it too holy. Those that will pronounce it state that the correct translation into English is Jehovah.
