The name "Jehovah" is translated as "GOD" in all the MANY unknown LANGUAGES worldwide. In my Garifuna language, Jehovah we say, "BUNGIYU BABA".................. "Our Father".
In the Old Testament, (as Chris and T. Levis cited) God identified Himself as I AM THAT I AM or in Hebrew YHWH.
This is where we get the names Yahweh or Jehovah. I prefer to write YHW. But the pronunciation has produced the names Yahweh or Jehovah or a few other variants.
Not a problem T. Levis. I think we all understand that when we're writing or posting a comment, often we're not aware of any other comment already posted. At least our Scriptures lined up well!
Jehovah used in this KJV translation : Exodus 6:3, Psalms 83:18, Isaiah 12:2, Isaiah 26:4,
To find where each place it's located : (I just searched Jehovah in the search tab, on this site. It opens in top left of page when you tap the KJV Standard)
If you notice in Exodus 6:3, it's perfect how it explains HE appeared to Abraham, Isaac & Jacob as GOD ALMIGHTY, but JEHOVAH that name was not known to them. It's very interesting the way the Bible has the names of GOD, especially old testament. In Psalms 83:18, Most High over all the earth.

Hopefully that's helpful.
