List of names that refer to Jehovah?

All the names in bible that start with Jeho, sometimes even just Jo, refer by definition to the name Jehovah. Jehoshaphat, Jehosheba, Jehoshua, Jehoram, Jehonathan, Jehonadab, (update after) etcetera, so where is the list of names in the is article? Where is the article for this massive list of names that happens to exist if you include the suffixed names along with the prefixed names? This article states that the Tetragrammaton is in the bible almost seven thousand times, but I have little doubt that if you include all th names that refer to the Tetragrammaton there are likely tens of thousands of references. This seems like a glaring omission from both this article and from Wikipedia. 24.78.228.96 (talk) 09:02, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"This seems like a glaring omission from both this article and from Wikipedia." No such omission. There is a partial list of such theophoric names in the main article on theophoric names. Dimadick (talk) 11:08, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not to mention a list of theophoric names added to either this or the Tetragrammaton articles would make them ridiculously long; they are lengthy enough already, plus there's a link to the Theophoric names article in the "See also" section. Stephen Walch (talk) 18:36, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BCE vs BC

An article about the Name of God but will not reference Christ by means of BC. 165.255.99.10 (talk) 19:11, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article describes a translation of a Hebrew name of God that is used in the Old Testament. Some modern translations include the name in their rendering of the NT but it is not in the original manuscripts. There is no special reason to assert a Christian POV in the article and WP:ERA applies.—Jeffro77 (talk) 23:17, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
