If you speak English it's Jehovah.
If you speak Hebrew it's Yahweh.
He has over 120 variations of His Name according to the language one speaks.
He speaks them all and knows when a person is addressing Him.

Latin had no "J".

True story.

This is why the sign they put up over Jesus' head when he was on the cross was "I N R I", "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews."

In Greek, it was I N B I, translating to "Jesus the Nazorean, King of the Judeans."

Then how did they spell Jupiter?

Jupiter, also Jove (Latin: Iūpiter [ˈjuːpɪtɛr] or Iuppiter [ˈjʊppɪtɛr], gen. Iovis [ˈjɔwɪs]), is the god of sky and thunder and king of the gods in Ancient Roman religion and mythology.

It seems that once again you may only be groping around in darkness. What Latin scholars had was no equivalent for the letter I and they therfore substituted the letter J

The letter j is rather different to those discussed so far, as it did not exist in Latin and, of course, a great deal of the medieval literate tradition is in Latin. This does n ...[text shortened]... began Caesar adsum jam forte.

"... at least in theory."

When you finish your doctorate, then come tell me of your "theories".

Until then, it's "opinion", with all the respect that is worth.

Latin, spoken in the Roman Empire, not so much any more.

Add something to the narrative... or not

Well, when a person "adds something to the narrative", one probably expects it to be understood. Most of the time, good luck with that. Case in point, I've been adding to the narrative of this thread.

Not sure what you are slobbering about, there was no equivalent for the constant I, Latin scholars substituted J. It has worked well since or are you disputing your beloved King James version of the Bible which has the divine name in full in at last four place and in abbreviated form in various other places including proper names. e.g EliJAH, AdoniJAH,

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. Exodus 6:3 - KJV

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. - Psalm 83:18

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. - Isaiah 12:2

Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: - Isaiah 26:4

and Amen to that Pilgrim Robbie

Pretty clear which name matters...

That's right. Jehovah is gathering all things together again in His Son Christ Jesus.
(Ephesians 1:8-10) This undeserved kindness he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding 9 by making known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure that he himself purposed 10 for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him
It's our only hope.

Yes, the world of that time was Helenized by the Greek World Power.
They were conquered by the Romans who inherited many areas that spoke Greek
The same as today's world primarily speaks English because of the influence of the Anglo- American World Power.

So where does the name "Jehovah" come into it?
