This is not true. Where did he get this from? The LXX usually, though not always, renders the name as some form of "kyrios" (lord).

Also, one reason "Yahweh" was not previously used as much is because "Jehovah" was more popular. In addition, The short form "Yah" appears in some words like "hallelujah" which means "praise Yah" (note that j originally had a y sound in English). Compare with the Latin form of the word "alleluia" (j was not distinct from i until around the 1500s).
