The Pentagrammaton (Yahshuah)
The Pentagrammaton: PART ONE
What is it? and What does it have to do with GOD?
The etymology of the name of Jesus, see Yeshua
The Pentagrammaton is actually a constructed form of the Hebrew name of Jesus found in the works of Athanasius Kirchner, Johann Baptist Grossschedel (1619) and other late renaissance esoteric sources. It is to be distinguished from the name Yahshua found in the works of the Sacred Name movement in the 1960s.
The pentagrammaton Yahshuah has no support in archeological findings, such as the Dead Sea scrolls or inscriptions, nor in rabbinical texts as a form of Joshua. Scholarship generally considers the original form of Jesus to be Yeshua, a Hebrew Bible form of Joshua

Etymology is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their form and meaning have changed over time. By an extension, the term "etymology (of a word)" means the origin of a particular word.

Pentagrammaton
Occultistic pentagram showing the five Hebrew letters of the "Pentagrammaton"
or Y-H-W-Sh-H name attributed to Jesus (i.e. an incorrect attempt to derive a version of the Hebrew name of Jesus by adding the letter shin ש in the middle of the Tetragrammaton divine name yod-he-waw-he יהוה), from the 1897 book “La Clef de la Magie Noire” by Stanislas de Guaita.

On the Commons, the image is named “Pentagram with one point up (de Guaita).jpg”
Two pentagrams taken from the 1897 book “La Clef de la Magie Noire” by Stanislas de Guaita.
The upper Pentacle is "white", including the "Pentagrammaton" at the vertices of the pentagram (i.e. an incorrect attempt to derive a version of the Hebrew name of Jesus by adding the letter shin ש in the middle of the Tetragrammaton divine name yod-he-waw-he יהוה).
The lower Pentacle is "black", with the Hebrew letters for Leviathan at the vertices of the pentagram.
Note that the idea that a pentagram with one point down is "bad" (in contrast to a pentagram with one point up which is "good") basically originated with mid-19th century French occultist Eliphas Levi.
Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan based his “Sigil of Baphomet” on this image: a goat face in a five-pointed star (one point down), with “Leviathan” written in Hebrew in two concentric circles surrounding the pentagram.
