The issue is not:
exact correspondence of letters - and vowels
(even the two heys in the Hebrew have different sound)
cognates in Akkadian any language
etymological theories in Greek
etymological theories in Latin
or 100 other discussions
===========================
All of those have their place, but they tend to be subjective issues and/or subject to etymological fallacies. One of the tricks of the scholarship has been to spend page upon page of secondary issues and ignore the fundamental vocalization equivalence that shows that yahweh is nothing less than the devil Jove.
Vocalization equivalence is cross-language (allowing minor cultural nuances in pronunciation).
Jove was not derivative of the Tetragram. (That, by contrast, is actually an important issue, and has been covered well by some writers.)
===========================
On this thread, we will point to various information that confirms the vocalization equivalence and supports what is written above about significance.
Some is already here or there on this forum.
