Julius Wellhausen
Karel van der Toorn
William F. Albright

The etymology of this theonym has been discussed very extensively in scholarly literature, but remains uncertain.
Lewis (2020) presents the scholarly consensus that יהוה (yhwh ~ Yahweh) is the verbal form, prefixed by 3rd singular masculine y-, of hyh ~ hwh ~ hwy "to be" (whose ancestor is reconstructed by Huehnergard (2011) as Proto-Semitic *hwy (“to fall, happen, be, become”)); Lewis further interprets Yahweh as a non-causative meaning "the [permanently] existing one; the god who is" and a pre-monarchic archaic vocalization from another dialect than classical Hebrew (hence Yahweh instead of expected **yihweh; compare יִֽהְיֶ֣ה (yihyeh, “he will be; it (masc.) will be”)).
Meanwhile, Lewis objects to some other major interpretations (which lack explicit attestations and linguistic connections made by native Biblical Hebrew speakers), namely:
* causative "he who causes to be" (reflecting Yahweh’s ability as a creator) by Albright, Freedman, & Cross (also by Huehnergard, 2011).
* "he blows (tr.)" (if true, then cognate with Arabic هَوَى (hawā, “to blow (intr.), to breeze, to waft”)) by van der Toorn or "he fells (with lightning)" by Wellhausen (if true, then causative of *hwy "to fall", whence Arabic هَوَى (hawā, “to descend, to sink”)).

אדם

he-proper noun

אָדָם • (adám) m

Root
 א־ד־ם (ʾ-d-m)
Comparable to Phoenician 𐤀𐤃𐤌 (ʾdm, “man, earthling”), Ugaritic 𐎀𐎄𐎎 (ảdm, “man; red earth, red ochre”), Old South Arabian 𐩱𐩵𐩣 (ʾdm, “vassals, subjects”), Ge'ez ዶም (dom, “slave”), Akkadian 𒀀𒁕𒄠𒈬 (a-da-am-mu /adamu/, “blood”), Akkadian 𒀀𒁕𒈠𒌈 (a-da-ma-tum /adamātu/, “dark red earth or dye”), Akkadian 𒀀𒁕𒈬 (a-da-mu /adamu/, “a red garment”), Akkadian 𒀀𒁕𒈬 (a-da-mu /adamu/, “an important or noble person”). The meaning range points to these words being extensions from Proto-Semitic *dam- (“blood”), compare the Palestinian Aramaic forms of it אדם / אידם / ܐܕܡ (ʾəḏem, “blood”). The meaning development could be any of the following:
# “blood” → “red earth”, “red ochre” → “earthling”;
# “blood” → “man”, as blood is a main ingredient of humans;
# “blood” → “red earth”, “red ochre” → “the dye to paint idols” → hence “an idol” → “an effigy, a likeness” → “a man”;
# “blood” → “blood sacrifice to appease an idol” → hence “an idol” → “an effigy, a likeness” → “a man”;
# “blood” → “red” → “to show red blood in the face, e.g. to blush” → “a human”.
Compare Arabic دُمْيَة (dumya, “statue, idol; effigy, likeness; doll, puppet”), دَمَّ (damma, “to bedaub”).
