Does anyone know where the expression "Hallelujah" came from? Should it be pronounced "ha-leh-LOO-yuh"?

Question

What was it's original meaning?

Answer 1

It means ' Hail Jah!' or Praise Jehovah.
The divine name does appear in its abbreviated form at chapter 8, verse 6, where love is said to be “the flame of Jah.”

What is the proper pronunciation of God’s name?

In the second half of the first millennium C.E., Jewish scholars introduced a system of points to represent the missing vowels in the consonantal Hebrew text. When it came to God’s name, instead of inserting the proper vowel signs for it, they put other vowel signs to remind the reader that he should say ’Adho·nai′ (meaning “Sovereign Lord”) or ’Elo·him′ (meaning “God”).

The Codex Leningrad B 19A, of the 11th century C.E., vowel points the Tetragrammaton to read Yehwah′, Yehwih′, and Yeho·wah′. Ginsburg’s edition of the Masoretic text vowel points the divine name to read Yeho·wah′. (Ge 3:14, ftn) Hebrew scholars generally favor “Yahweh” as the most likely pronunciation. They point out that the abbreviated form of the name is Yah (Jah in the Latinized form), as at Psalm 89:8 and in the expression Ha·lelu-Yah′ (meaning “Praise Jah, you people!”). (Ps 104:35; 150:1, 6) Also, the forms Yehoh′, Yoh, Yah, and Ya′hu, found in the Hebrew spelling of the names Jehoshaphat, Joshaphat, Shephatiah, and others, can all be derived from Yahweh.

Its common meaning in Christianity is "Praise the Lord"

It is a bad pronounciation of the Hebrew word. Don't worry about the proper pronunciation. Just say it like the people around you would say it
You will never get it to sound like Hebrew, certainly not like 2,000 year old Hebrew, so don't worry.
