Pronounced: juh-HO-vah

A 16th-century German translator wrote the name "YHVH" (YHWH) using the vowels of "Adonai," because the ancient Jewish texts from which he was translating had the vowels of "Adonai" under the consonants of "YHVH." By doing this, he incorrectly came up with the name "Jehovah" (YaHoVaH).
