It is important to note that modern scholarship has interpreted the tetragrammaton as YHWH, which may be a word related to "He who causes to be" (per the NRSV). The pronunciation of this as "Jehovah" has no linguistic basis and is in fact of late medieval origin.

As far as any mystical value of the number four is concerned, I would point out that the nominative plural of deus is di, a form which was probably just as commonly used in Latin. The Greek "logos," used to identify the divine creative principle, was probably of similar theological importance as theos, but has five letters in the Greek.
