Background

Referring to God as Jehovah is a known practice by Jehovah's Witnesses as written by [Raymond Franz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Franz) in *In Search of Christian Freedom* in 1991:
> The fact remains that today no religious group of any size uses the
> name "Jehovah" with such intense frequency as does that of Jehovah's
> Witnesses. That name predominates throughout their literature. Among
> Jehovah's Witnesses it has become almost strange to speak of "God"
> without prefacing the term by saying "Jehovah God", while the term
> "Lord" is quite rare in their expressions. They read "Lord" in the
> Bible but hardly ever use it in their own speech extemporaneously. It
> is almost a liturgical form for them in most prayers to initially
> address these to "Jehovah" or "Jehovah God".
However, the above was written [after his expulsion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Franz#Expulsion) , and thus may not carry any significant doctrinal weight.

Are there other denominations or religions that understand God's personal name as the form "Jehovah"?
