Yahweh is the English rendering of יַהְוֶה, a vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה that was proposed by the Hebrew scholar Gesenius in the 19th century.
יהוה had been vocalized as יְהֹוָה in the Masoretic Text that underlies the Old Testament of the King James Bible, however this vocalization יְהֹוָה had been disputed by Hebrew scholars from as early as 1604 A.D.
יַהְוֶה was proposed in a period of the 19th century when the vocalized Hebrew punctuation יְהֹוָה, from which Jehovah is derived, was finally rejected by Hebrew scholars, who did not believe that it accurately represented the original pronunciation of God's Hebrew name.
Gesenius's proposed punctuation יַהְוֶה is believed to represent Ιαβε which is Epiphanius's Greek Transcription of the Tetragrammaton.
Modern observant Jews no longer voice the name יהוה aloud. It is believed to be too sacred to be uttered and is often referred to as the 'Ineffable', 'Unutterable' or 'Distinctive Name'. (See Name of God in Judaism.) Various proposals still exist for the vocalization of יהוה in which the stem of the name Yahweh (Yah) remains widely accepted but discrepancies exist on agreement of the ending ('weh'). Early Christian literature written in Greek used spellings like Ιαβε and Ἰαουε that can be transcribed by 'Yahweh'. This pronunciation and spelling, as with many religious and scholarly issues, remains the subject of ongoing debate, see Criticisms and theories on Yahweh.
