English · Etymology
Transliteration of Hebrew יְהֹוָה ( yəhōwā ) , the Masoretic vocalization of the Biblical Hebrew יהוה (variously pronounced). The Masoretic vocalization is a so-called qere perpetuum , the deliberate insertion of the vowels of another word than the one represented by the consonant text, in this case אֲדֹנָי ( “ my lord ” ) ('Adonai').
Continuing earlier Iehoua . In English, the name is first attested in 1530, in Tyndale's Bible: I appeared vnto Abraham Isaac and Iacob an allmightie God: but in my name Iehouah was I not knowne vnto them (Exodus 6:3). Tyndale used Iehouah instead of Wycliffe's Adonay . The KJV also has Jehovah in this verse specifically, while it uses Lord otherwise. Young's Literal Translation (1898) has Jehovah . The New King James Version (1982) has Lord .
