Webster's Collegiate Dictionary:
“Jehovah — False reading of the Hebrew YAHWEH.”
(“Jehovah,” Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, 1973 ed.) Encyclopedia Americana:
“Jehovah — erroneous form of the name of the God of Israel.”(Encyclopedia Americana, vol. 16., 1972 ed.)

 

Encyclopedia Britannica:
“The Masoretes who from the 6th to the 10th century worked to reproduce the original text of the Hebrew Bible replaced the vowels of the name YHWH with the vowel signs of Adonai or Elohim. Thus the artificial name Jehovah came into being.”
(“Yahweh,” The New Encyclopedia Britannica, vol. 12, 1993ed.)

 

The Jewish Encyclopedia:
“Jehovah — a mispronunciation of the Hebrew YaHWeH the name of God. The pronunciation of Jehovah is grammatically impossible.” (“Jehovah,” The Jewish Encyclopedia, vol. 7, 1904 ed.)

The New Jewish Encyclopedia:
“It is clear that the word Jehovah is an artificial composite.”(“Jehovah,” The New Jewish Encyclopedia, 1962 ed.)

 

The Encyclopedia Judaica:
According to the Encyclopedia Judaica, p. 680, vol. 7, “the true pronunciation of the tetragrammaton, YHWH, was never lost.
The name was pronounced Yahweh. It was regularly pronounced this way at least until 586 B.C., as is clear from the Lachish Letters written shortly before this date.”

 

Encyclopedia Judaica, pg. 680, The Macmillan Co., New York, 1971. "The true pronunciation of the name YHWH was never lost. Several early Greek writers of the Christian Church testify that the name was pronounced 'Yahweh.' ”

Isa 42:8” I am YaHWeH; that is My name; and I will not give My glory to another, nor My praise to engraved images.”

Clearly His name is Yahweh, let us exult His name together, HalleluYAH!
