Iehova

Latin Alternative forms la Jehōva la Iōva Jōva Etymology la :der hbo:יהוה<tr:IHVH> + Traditional reading of the la hbo יהוה IHVH, based on the la qeri perpetuum found in the Masoretic text (ca. 7th to 10th century). Attested in print from at least 1514, but used in the 15th century (by Nicholas of Cusa, d. 1464.). The transcription has earlier (medieval, and even ancient) origins; found as Johouah (and variants) in Raymond Martin (1278). The Greek equivalent grc ΙΕΗΩΟΥΑ is found even in Late Antiquity, in the Pistis Sophia (perhaps a 2nd century text, extant in 5th or 6th century manuscripts).
