It depends on what module says what. Brandon specifies very clearly on his Swordsearcher website that he does not endorse or agree with every statement made in these commentaries, books, etc. - but has included them as tools, to be used discerningly and comparing what they say with the Bible itself.

American Tract Society Dictionary says this: In the Hebrew Bible, it is always written with the vowels of one or the other of these words. Its ancient pronunciation is by many thought to have been Yahweh, but this is not certain.

From a quick search for entries for Yahweh, I do not see any of them that give a history of this name - I see some commentators with a preference or liking for it - but that in itself neither proves or disproves it.

Actually, from what I recall, Brandon already posted a link showing where the name came from earlier in this thread. You may profit from reading through it.
