It's actually YHWH.
this...
the divine name is a verb, the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Hebrew verb
hawah, which means "to become". therefore, the divine name means something like "he causes to become". the name appears 6,828 times in the old testament, starting with Genesis 2:4. (appendix, NWT)
the Hebrew for "LORD" (YHWH) sounds like and may be derived from the Hebrew for
I AM in Exodus 3:14. (NIV footnote)
