Jehovah or Yahweh are variants on the Hebrew name for God: YHWH This name was given by God as HIs name for the Israelites in Egypt to know him by when He called Moses from the burning bush in the backside of the desert near Mt. Sinai (Horeb). When Moses asked God by what name shall He tell the Israelites He is. God said YHWH; which means I AM THAT I AM or I AM WHO I AM or I WILL BE WHOM I WILL BE. All of these names speak to His eternal existence and self-existence, meaning that God never had a beginning and no one (or nothing) else gave Him existence. That is why Jesus says that He is the Life and that He and the Father have life within themselves. They are the source of life because they are Life of Existence Itself.
In Exodus 3:6 where God gives this name, He also identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob so that Moses knows that He is the same God that related to these forefathers that he and the Israelites knew about. God also identifies Himself as God Almighty or The Most High, as He was known to Abraham and others before revealing this name to Moses.
These names reveal something about God's nature to us, but these are all names of the One True God. So, most likely Moses relayed to the Israelites this new name (YHWH) and informed them that the God of their forefathers is this same God YHWH.
