יהוה is from the Hebrew verb to be. It is transitive making it active in use, It is pronounced Yahweh or Yahve depending on the accent employed.
The name is taken from the infinitive and in the gerund or noun form. Being active it may only be employed in all honesty by One Who causes Himself to be, or is Self-Existing.
If one wishes to translate Yahweh completely to English, it actually means Self-Existing, and this is only fitting for the Only One Who is capable of accomplishing this act, that is, being Self-Existing.
This is not His name, it is just one of many titles. I like using the name Yahweh because it is closest to what I believe Abraham, our spiritual forefather, used.
Throughout the Old Testement when we see the word "Lord" in caps, it is Yahweh in Hebrew. However, many times in the New Testament when we see the word, Lord, it is also in reference to Yahweh. When you see the Old Testament quoted in the New, if the word, Lord, is quoted you will find it refers to Yahweh.
Again, Yahweh is not His name, it is a title. God may be used any time with respect, although the true origin of that word is not known by linguists.
It is believed to be rooted in Sanskrit, but this is conjecture at best. Used with respect to the Living Elohim, these titles are all just fine.
Jesus is a transliteratiion from the Latin, which was transliterated from the Greek, and in turn originated being transliterated from the Hebrew. The name,
ישוע, as we know it in Hebrew, was pronounced to Mary by the Angel who instructed her to call
His name Yeshua for He was to save His people. If you did not know before, now you do, His name may be translated into English completely as Salvation. Mary was to callo His name Salvation for he was to save His people. Now, you know who HIs people are, all who believe of the two flocks. Those are the two flocks joined together by the Good Shepherd.
When we arrive to the Kingdom, there will be one name used by all for our Maker, and until then, no man knows His name.
An important notation on the word name, in the Bible most often it does not refer to a name as we think today, rather it refers to a reputation, fame or reknown, thus His name is known throughout all the nations.
Consider the name, Jesus, and what it translates as, Salvation, and the name of Yahweh, Self-Existing! And it shall be in that time that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
