It's an acceptable English translation from the Hebrew tetragrammaton. The Bible doesn't specify how to pronounce any names.
Actually, God's name is more likely Jehovah or Yehovah. The reason being is because:
1)Yehowah/Jehovah is based on the Masoretic text.
2)Almost every Israelites name in the Bible is based on God's name. Yehoshua/Jesus, Ishayeho/Isaiah, Yehonathan/Jonathan, and Eliyahu/Elijah.
Eliyahu means "My God is Yahu" or Yahuwa. Yehoshaphat/Jehosaphat means "Yaho has judged." Do you notice how everyone's name has the root verb Yeho/Yahu/Yahoo? That's the root word for God's name. A two-syllable pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton as “Yahweh” would not allow for the o vowel sound to exist as part of God’s name. But in the dozens of Biblical names that incorporate the divine name, this middle vowel sound appears in both the original and the shortened forms, as in Jehonathan and Jonathan.
3)The only evidence of Yahweh is from the Samaritans who used to worship a pagan God they called Yawee.
3)We have an idea of the correct pronunciation of God's name because of how pagans were also named after their Gods. Nebuchadnezzar, his father Nabopolassar were named after the god Nebo and Nebuchadnezzar's son, Awil-Marduk, was named after the god Marduk. Ramses was named after Ra. Thus we have an idea of how God's name was pronounced based on the people named after him.
If you are going to complain about the pronunciation of God's name in English being "Jehovah" then you better quit pronouncing Jesus Christ then. Because that TOO is the Latinization of Christ's name. Back then, he was Yoshuah the Seed or Yehoshua the Anointed
