Jehovah comes to us via the german, there are no vowels in the original hebrew which means the four consonants could have any vowel in any combination in between the letters.
In any case, Jehovah is a pictoral name/word. If you could picture something that wants to burst forth; then thats what Jehovah means: Wanting to burst forth.
Interestingly enough, the name Joshua is derived from Jehovah, and the greek cognate for Joshua is Jesus.
Christ means deliverer.
God named His Son after Himself.
The literal meaning of Jesus Christ is : "Wanting to burst forth with deliverance".

What nonsense !
In other words, everyone is wrong, we are all worshipping a phony God because Mex disregards the entire O.T. identification of "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
A rose by any other name is still a rose.
