Yahweh Meaning

A name of the Hebrew God, represented in Hebrew by the tetragrammaton ("four letters") (Yod Heh Vav Heh) , transliterated into Roman script Y H W H. Because it was considered blasphemous to utter the name of God it was only written and never spoken. This resulted in the original pronunciation being lost. The name may have originally been derived from the old Semitic root (hawah) meaning "to be" or "to become".
