It's Hebrew, and from right to left (as Hebrew is read), it spells "YHWH." This is the written name of the God of Israel... In english, the name is "Yahweh" (yah-way), but in Hebrew it is written without vowels as the ancient Hebrew language had no vowels. Jesus' real name, "Yeshua," literally means "Yahweh saves," which in my opinion is the most perfect name the Savior of the world, the Prince of God -- our Canaan King -- could have.
