Yahweh (YHWH)

because this personal name for God is not gender-specific, it has been used by groups seeking inclusive terms. However, observant Jews neither use nor speak this sacred word, and out of respect for this belief system, many non-Jews have chosen to forego its use also. Jews use instead "Ha-Shem" ("The Name"). Jews also refer to God as "Adonai," "Lord," and "Eloheinu"—but never "Jehovah." See also Father (God), God (Christian), Jehovah.
