It was just a strange reference...I’ve done a lot of Judeo/Christian studies, and so I’ve heard of Elohim, but as far as the ‘real’ world and in news stories, I’ve only ever heard the name “Jehovah” when talking about Jewish religion...just struck me as strange!

Judaism does not recognize "Jehovah" as a Hebrew word. It is made up. It comes from misreading the Hebrew text of the Bible.

Some Christians read the four letter holy name of G-d and saw the vowel points inserted by the Masorete scribes, and thought it was the manner of pronunciation ("yehovah").

However, as any Jew of the day could have told them, the vowel points (which are not a part of the original text) were inserted as a read/write rule. When you see such scribal notes, you read one thing, but SAY something else. This is useful for reading delecate text in public/mixed settings. The reason the rule was applied to the four letter tetragrammaton is because the pronunciation was lost during the Second Temple period. The vowel points that were inserted were for the Hebrew word for "L-rd" (Ad-nai). So when the four letters are read, the word "L-rd" is said. Most English translations follow the same rule.

So, no, the four letters (a yod, a hey, a vav, and a hey) are not pronounced "Yehovah" or "Jehovah" or "Yahweh." There are over 20 different possibilities of what the four letters could sound like, but not those.
