I think a better question is why and how did the names get changed to English words? There were no corresponding names in English. The English names have no historical basis and seem to have a bit of deceit behind them as they hide the actual identity of who is being spoken of and given English definitions.
Look up the origin of the word god and trace it back to it's Indo root, see if it is an appropriate name for our Creator. Look at the origin of the name Jesus(as), How on earth could the name
Yeshua ( also pronounced Isa. Eesa) become Jesus?
The English language has changed the bible into something with little resemblance to what
taught. I suspect most Christians follow Jesus and have no idea as to who Yeshua(as) is.
Jesus comes from Greek and Latin. The Greek name Iesous, stemming from the Hebrew Yeshua ( a variant of Yehoshua - the Hebrew for Joshua). Latin took the Greek name Iesous, and transliterated it as Iesus. English converted the I to a J, which gave us Jesus from the Latin.
Because Yeshua was his name, and after the War with Rome, his surviving disciples wound up establishing a colony in Greece. "Jesus" is "Yeshua" run through the Greek language.
There was no J in Koine Greek and it it first appeared in 15th Century German. The letter J still does not exist in Greek, Hebrew or Latin.
The name Jesus was not used until about the third edition of the KJV in the 17th Century.
Actually, Yahweh was an ancient god of war and storms who was voted the "one true GOD" by a wandering tribe of desert goat herders later called the Israelites. He had a wife name Asherah for a long time though of course she got the pink slip along with the dozens of other gods previously worshipped who obviously couldn't exist any longer with HIM suddenly and conveniently being the one and only GOD and whatnot..

Do you really think he understands hebrew? Yahweh is a way christians want to pronounce a name that un-pronouncable. If you litterally spell out the hebrew word from hebrew text then it would spelled YHUH or YHOH. Which is like wispering into the wind.
actually Yahweh is an attempt to pronounce the Yod-hay-vov-hey name of G-d, using the best evidence available. For example the Yod-hay portions of the name yashiah (isaiah) and yeremiah (jeremiah) are pronounced Yah, so it stands to reason the first syllable of the Yod-hay-vov-hay was too.
Josephus said it was written on the high priest's turban as four vowels. One breathes the manufacturer's Breath of Life, and each intake and exhalation has the Manufacturer's Breath of Life Brand Name stamped on it -"YH-WH". The Creator who is Breath/Life in Hebrew is "YHWH".
Every creature that comes into the world receives the gift of the breath of life, and they say the name of the owner of that breath with each breath taken in and exhaled -from the moment they come into the world until the depart it..

Listen well and you will hear every vowel in each drawing in and exhaling of the breath of life, which is given on loan from the Creator.

It's just a confounding of the language problem which began at the Bab-el rebellion.
The Hebrew word, הוֹשֵׁעַ means Salvation, and Howshea is what the angel said to call Him, for "He shall save His people from their sins".
Hosea or Hoshea or Oshea = "salvation".

Yahweh adds vowels where none exist. In YHWH the W is silent. Thus it becomes YHH. Also its the spelling used when a prayer in not being recited and the word Hashem (the name) is stated in it place. If a prayer is being recited then YY would be its transliteral spelling and the word Adonai (sir) is used in its place.
