 Hebrew for Christians - The Hebrew Names for God
Through the ancient Hebrew Patriarchs, through the great deliverance God effected by means of His servant Moses, through the eloquent oracles and admonitions of the Hebrew prophets, and most especially through the manifestation of the Mashiach Yeshua: in all these ways God has revealed His Name.
In fact, the Scriptures make it clear that the name of Yeshua is so vital to our correct apprehension of reality that without it we are literally lost, since we are told “there is no other name by means of which it is necessary for us to be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Of the various Names of God found in the Tanakh, the one which occurs most frequently (6,823 times) is the Tetragrammaton, YHVH, though the other Names are significant and provide additional light on the nature and character of God.

 5.1.  Legal/Hebrew Names
All of the common Hebrew names used in Europe are legal Jewish names.  Hebrew names consist of one or two names in combination, sometimes, three, occasionally, four.  Some or all of these names might appear in archival documents, along with kinuim used by the individual.
Patronymic double names appear at first glance to be non-legal Hebrew double names:  A combination of a Hebrew name with another Hebrew name or with a Yiddish name.  In reality, such names are simply an alternative way of writing a Hebrew single name together with the father's name.
It sometimes happened that the father's name was a Yiddish name, say, Ziskind, and that the son's Hebrew name Moshe and the father's Yiddish name Ziskind did not form a standard legal double name with the son's name Moshe.  Later, such names were replaced by true patronymic double names, such as Moshe Ziskinovich.

 Esoteric Hebrew Names of God
In addition to the many Names of the God of Israel revealed in the Torah, Nevi’im, and Ketuvim (i.e., the Tanakh), the Jewish mystical tradition coined some other Names for God, primarily for use in the study of Kabbalah and Kabbalistic meditation.
Because it is composed from the four Hebrew letters Yod, Hey, Vav, and Hey, it is also referred to as the “Tetragrammaton,” which simply means “the four letters.” Kabbalists use the Name (and permutations of it) in their meditations.
The 216-Letter Name of God is really a 72-part Name, since it is a sequence of 72 triads of letters all of which are derived from permutations on Exodus 14:19-21 (which itself is composed of three verses of 72 letters each).
