Yod He Vav He. It's often referred to as the Tetragrammaton, or as YHVH. The problem is that the Hebrew of the Torah has no wovels, so we have no idea how to pronounce that. The common consensus is that it's 'Yahweh', but we're not sure.
Jews usually subsitute 'Adonai', meaning 'lord/master' or 'Hashem' which literally means 'The Name'.

YHWH (ha.wah) also JHVH
Tetragrammation as been used to restore the name to Jehovah.
The Sopherim altered the name to Adho-nai or Elo-him
If i knew how to make my computer write in Hebrew I could write it for you.
The devine name is a verb , the causative form , the imperfect state , of the Hebrew verb .Therefore , the devine name means "He Causes to Become ".

In Judaism, I think it is a sin to speak the name of God, isn't it? So you probably wouldn't write it in Hebrew. Elohim is one name, and then there's Yahweh.

"I am that I am" (Hebrew: ×××× ×שר ××××, pronounced Ehyeh asher ehyeh) is the sole response used in (Exodus 3:14) when Moses asked for God's name.

You cannot say his name or you will "surely die". Some assume it is Jehovah or yaweh but it none of those.
In Hebrew it is the yud yud combo=

Darlin' - there's more than one name.
People changed the name of God based on their relationship WITH Him at the time.
The ancient Jewish Scribes wrote the Hebrew texts in one continuos sentance without punctuation - because they believed the WHOLE of the books were the name of God... hence the term "Word of God."
Here are some of the names:
EL: God ("mighty, strong, prominent") used 250 times
in the OT See Gen. 7:1, 28:3, 35:11; Nu. 23:22;
Josh. 3:10; 2 Sam. 22:31, 32; Neh. 1:5, 9:32; Isa. 9:6;
Ezek. 10:5.
ELOHYM: ×××××
'eÌloÌhiÌym
God (a plural noun, more than two, used with
singular verbs); Elohim occurs 2,570 times in the OT, 32
times in Gen. 1:1. God as Creator, Preserver, Transcendent,
Mighty and Strong. Eccl., Dan. Jonah use Elohim almost
exclusively. See Gen. 17:7, 6:18, 9:15, 50:24; I Kings 8:23;
Jer. 31:33; Isa. 40:1.
EL SHADDAI:×× ×©××Ö¼×
'eÌl shadday
God Almighty or "God All Sufficient." 48 times
in the OT, 31 times in Job. First used in Gen. 17:1, 2.
ADONAI: ××× ×
'aÌdoÌnaÌy
Lord in our English Bibles (Capitol letter 'L ',
lower case, 'ord') (Adonai is plural, the sing. is "adon").
"Master'' or "Lord" 300 times in the OT always plural
when referring to God, when sing. the reference is to a
human lord. Used 215 times to refer to men. First use
of Adonai, Gen. 15:2. (Ex. 4:10; Judges 6:15;
2 Sam. 7:18-20; Ps. 8, 114:7, 135:5, 141:8, 109:21-2.
Heavy use in Isaiah (Adonai Jehovah). 200 times by Ezekiel.
Ten times in Dan. 9.
JEHOVAH: ××××
yehoÌvaÌh
LORD in our English Bibles (all capitals). Yahweh,
YHWH is the covenant name of God. Occurs 6823 times in
the OT First use Gen. 2:4 (Jehovah Elohim). From the verb
"to be", havah, similar to chavah (to live), "The Self-Existent
One," "I AM WHO I AM" or 'I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE" as
revealed to Moses at the burning bush, Ex.3. The name
of God, too sacred to be uttered, abbreviated
( . . . . ) or written "YHWH" without vowel points. The
tetragrammaton. Josh., Judges, Sam., and Kings use
Jehovah almost exclusively. The love of God is conditioned
upon His moral and spiritual attributes. (Dan. 9:14; Ps. 11:7;
Lev. 19:2; Hab. 1:12). Note Deut. 6:4, 5 known to Jews
as the Sh'ma uses both Jehovah and Elohim to indicate
one God with a plurality of persons.
