We have no idea how the Hebrew tetragrammaton YHWH is supposed to be pronounced. And there are no etymological common roots between this semitic root and the attested Indo-European origin of Iove.

It's possible that the Yahweh vocalization has been influenced by the Roman Catholic church in order to "romanize" christianity
