[b]Yes or No. And why?🙂 [/B]
Nobody knows, I just said no because Jehova or yaweh is supposed to have been the name of a volcano god. In the bible when moses asked god who shall I say sent me God said i am that i am in the kjv and I will become what I will become in newer versions. Those aren't names, if anything god is just saying he is what he is or will be what he will be. YHWH could very well be the name of god but if it is it should be yaweh, not jahovah.

If God's name is YHWH it is pronounced yaweh because it is unpronouncable without vowels. Jehovah is the same name with a different pronounciation. The Y is becimess a J and depending on what vowels you use it can be pronounced jahove or jehoveh etc. vowels weren't important at that time. I guess they were implied or they would have a hard time talking.
YHWH is most likely one of his names because uf you say it without any vowels it sounds like a blowing sound which is what god is, holy spirit (hagios pnuema) in greek isa current of air in the strongs concordance. When you say YHWH it sounds like a current of air which is the definition of spirit, it's a holy current if air. The muslems say Allah is the arabic pronounciation of Eloa and if it is Allah is a name for god. Just because they think mohammed is a prophet and reinterpret the old testament doesn't mean they're totally stupid. In fact we have more in common then either one of us is willing to admit.
Eloh is the root word for elokim and is a name of god, if the arabic pronounciation is allah that's a name for god regardless of the paganization that may be associated with it. Same goes for YHWH,I read that was a phase of the moon, it was also a vulcano god but if that's his name, that's his name. The word god might also be pagan in origrn so whether you call him allah or jehocah or yaweh as long as you know who you're talking about I don't think it makes a lot of difference.
