The Tetragrammaton is Hebrew. Theses four Hebrew letters are represented in many languages by the letters JHVH OR YHWH.

“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).

That is the four-letter name of God in the Hebrew Old Testament. It consists of the letters Yod He Vav He, and was probably pronounced "Yahweh." It probably meant "He who exists," and was the equivalent of the Greek "ho on."

It is the HEBREW characters denoting God's PERSONAL name. By translation to English is, I AM THAT I AM! for openers. Even I AM HE THAT CAUSES TO BE and much more. Look it up.
