1 definition found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: IHVH \IHVH\ [Written also {JHVH}, {YHVH}.] A transliteration of the four constants forming the Hebrew tetragrammaton or ``incommunicable name'' of the Supreme Being which in latter Jewish tradition is not pronounced save with the vowels of adonai or elohim, so that the true pronunciation is lost. Note: Numerous attempts have been made to represent the supposed original form of the word as Jahaveh, Jahvaj Jahve, Jahveh, Yahve, Yahveh, Yahwe, Yahweh, etc
