God name "Adonai aka Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh"	Jewish	El, Elohim, Shaddai, Shalom, Yah, YHWH / YHWH Tzevaot, God. YHWH is often transliterated "Jehovah" or "Yahweh", but only by people outside of Jewish tradition.
God name "Jehovah"	Israel	Creator god of Israel. A mix of of letters from Jhwh / Yhwh and Adonai - created so that people wouldn't utter the actual name. When Christians, unaware of the Jewish tradition, started to read the Hebrew Bible, they read it with the Masoretic vowels together with the consonants as written, and obtained Iehovah. Today this transcription is generally recognized as mistaken. Many religious groups continue to use the form Jehovah, because it is familiar and because the correct pronunciation is unknown.
