The noun "Yahweh" comes from the Hebrew Old Testament. The only true God worshipped by the ancient Hebrews was afraid to call him by his first name out of awe. He wrote his name "JHWH" in the scripture, and when he couldn't spell or read the scripture or pray, he used "adhonay" (meaning "My Lord") instead. Later, Christian theologians embedded the vowel in the word "adhonay" into "JHWH", spelling it as Jehovah, and reading it as Jehovah, which became a convention and has been used ever since. Modern scholars believe that "JHWH" should be pronounced as "Jahve" (there are many Chinese translations, such as Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh and Ye Wei). The Catholic Bible is translated as "God".
