Does Judaism credit Christians for preserving the true name of God as Yahweh? Encylopedia Judaica

Wikipedia's article "Jehovah" reads:

Most scholars believe "Jehovah" to be a late (ca. 1100 CE) hybrid form derived by combining the Latin letters JHVH with the vowels of Adonai, but there is some evidence that it may already have been in use in Late Antiquity (5th century).[4][5] It was not the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Pentateuch (6th century BCE), at which time the most likely vocalization was Yahweh. The historical vocalization was lost because in Second Temple Judaism, during the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE, the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai "my Lord.

The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 7, page 680 further states this fact:

"The true pronunciation of the name YHWH was never lost. Several early Greek writers of the Christian Church testify the name was pronounced 'Yahweh.' This is confirmed, at least for the vowel of the first syllable of the name, by the shorter form Yah, which is sometimes used in poetry (e.g., Ex. 15:12), and the - yahu or -yah that serves as the final syllable in very many Hebrew names."

The Encyclopedia Brittanica, Volume 23, page 867, confirms this fact:

"YAHWEH, the proper name of the God of Israel; it is composed of four consonants (YHWH) in Hebrew and is therefore called the Tetragrammaton..." The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Volume 9, page 160, confirms this fact again: "Of the names of God in the Old Testament, that which occurs most frequently (6,823 times) is the so-called Tetragrammaton, YHWH (), the distinctive personal name of the God of Israel."

The Encyclopedia Brittanica gives a detailed explanation as follows:

The early Christian scholars who inquired what was the true name of [God] had therefore no great difficulty getting the information they sought. Clement of Alexandria (died circa 212) says that it was pronounced iaove.” [In Greek, the V shaped letter sounded as a U sound, and was known as upsilon.] Epiphanius (died 404 AD) who was born in Palestine and spent a considerable part of his life there gives IABE (one codice IAVE). [B = Beta in Greek, and also had a v sound.] Theodoret (died circa 457 AD) born in Antioch writers that the Samaritans pronounced the name IaBe (in another passage IABAU)...[B = Beta in Greek.] This direct testimony is supplemented by the magical texts in which IaBe as well as IaBa, occurs frequently. In an Ethiopic list of magical names of Jesus, purporting to have been taught by him to his disciples, YAWE is found. Finally there is evidence from more than one source that the modern Samaritan priests pronounce the name YAHWEH or YAHWA. There is no reason to impugn the soundness of this substantially consistent testimony to the pronunciation of Yahweh or Jahveh, coming as it does through several independent channels....Recent scholars, accordingly, with few exceptions, are agreed that the ancient pronunciation of the name was Yahweh (the first H sounded at the end of the syllable.” (“Jehova,” Encylopedia Brittanica (1911) Vol. 15 at 312.)
