Yahweh / Jehovah: to exist, be (Exodus 3:14-15)
YHVH comes from the Hebrew verb "to be" and is the special name that God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. Therefore, YHVH declares God's absolute being - the source of everything, without beginning and without end.
God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.
