Yahweh was the one and only god of the tribes of Israel. The word is usually translated as "Lord." In ancient Israelite religion, the name of the Israelites’ god, who Christians and Jews today call "God," was never to be spoken or written. "Yahweh" is the word we use to indicate the four Hebrew letters (transliterated as YHWH) that stood for the name that could not be named. This is how God is identified in the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3.
