YHVH

This brings us to the Hebrew name YHVH יהוה. Stripped of its vowels, its exact pronunciation is unknown.   But what is known is that the name itself has powerful meaning. 

Let us begin by examining the letters themselves. Let's start with the Hebrew letter Yod י. Firstly Yod represents the source of creation. Secondly the shape of Yod is also present in every Hebrew letter, symbolizing that it is always present in everything. The Yod also represents power of God, a Crown, and that everything comes from God. It is also symbolic of truth, since truth is present in everything. Interestingly enough, but very importantly, it represents humility. In fact humility is really its defining quality.  Also when used as a prefix, it denotes masculinity. 

Next we have the letter Hey ה. Hey is used twice and it represents creation. It represents light. When a word ends in Hey, it adds a feminine quality in that it represents reproduction and bearing fruit. It also represents a nurturing aspect. 

Then we have the letter Vav ו.   Vav acts a a symbol for man or mankind. It is also symbolic of a connection.  When placed between other letters it often strengthens the connections between those letters and emphasizes their meanings. 

So these concepts when put together form a very powerful meaning. It is representative of the all present, humble God of truth, creator of mankind. But the final Hey adds an important meaning. It adds a FEMININE quality and a nurturing quality. It's added value, again looking at the binding Vav, represents the bond between God and man, not as a vague distant creator, but as an intimate and loving parent. 

This feminine aspect is very important, but I do not wish to cover that just yet. This name begins with a masculine prefix and ends with a feminine form.
