If you are using modern languages the answer can be easily found in the Original (not Revised) version of the King James Bible at Psalm 83:18. Or if you wished to do the deep research you could visit various libraries where the original codices and scrolls of the Bible, both the Torah, the Greek Septuagint, etc, and search for the Name as it is shown in Ancient Hebrew letters termed the Tetragrammaton. Those four Hebrew characters comprise the Name without vowels. Yaweh, Jehovah and other linguistic pronounciations follow the pattern of the Tetragrammaton. You can also look for it in the stone work of most of the great cathedrals of the world, Chartres, Notre Dame and even a church in St.Louis, Missouri U.S.A.
Also, if you wish to do research in America, you will find that the founding fathers of the United States were well acquainted with the Name. In fact, in later years Abraham Lincoln used it consistently.

You can call God by any Good name but God has a personal name ALLAH derived from ILAAH, THE ONE GOD.
Many Christians wont agree but Jesus used the same word for ILAAH.
“At three o’clock, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’ which is translated, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’” (Mark 15:34; Matthew 27:46)

You may address Him as God, Lord or Heavenly Father and Creator. What makes you think he deserve, or earned or merit the right, privilege to call him along familiar terms? Show respect and demonstrate your reverence!

Moses asked this very question.
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM," and he said, "You shall tell the children of Israel this: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
God's name is : I AM.
It is quite a remarkable statement as it is the present tense of being. Not a name meaning anything or symbolizing anything. But simply a statement of BEING.
It carries quite a significance as it also applies to you, created in His Image and Likeness.
Think of all the times you use this in reference to yourself. I am this, or I am that. I am tired= tired.
I am a looser= failure. I am a happy person = good disposition. Wherever you put your faith, that you become.
I Am, is one at the same time, you in the particular, but also God in the universal. I am is inclusive of yourself and God, the two and yet ONE

Hope this helps: Jehovah is the Germanic translation. This cannot be His original name as there is no J in the Hebrew or Aramaic. YAHWEH, is original
