Jah
Condensing in one emphatic syllable all that is implied in Jahveh (or Yahweh), the true pronunciation of Jehovah (Psa 68:4); first in Exo 15:2 (Hebrew). Often in names, as Eli-jah. Only in poetry: Isa 12:2, “Jah (or Yah) Jehovah is my strength and my song”; (Isa 26:4) “in Jah (or Yah) Jehovah is the Rock of ages.” The union of the two names expresses in the highest degree God’s unchanging love and power. Hallelu-Jah (or Hallelu-Yah) is “Praise ye Jah (or Yah)”. Psa 89:8, “O Jehovah, God of hosts, who, as Thou, is a strong Jah (or Yah)?” the emphatic concentration of the name “Jehovah.” The spirit impressed with a sense of God feels the need of repeating frequently that name in which His being is comprehended (Hengstenberg).

Jah
One of the glorious incommunicable names of JEHOVAH. We find it joined with many Hebrew names in the Scripture. The grand Anthem hymn is called Hallel-Jah, praise the Lord, which we pronounce Hallelujah. So again, when speaking of JEHOVAH in his covenant-relation in Christ, we say Adon Jah, or Adoni, my Adoni Jah. And hence the Hebrews were so fond of calling their children by some name that took in and comprehended somewhat of this name. Thus Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zephaniah, Zechariah, etc.
