Asa
Asa: a name of uncertain meaning. It is the king of Judah, son of Abijam, who reigned forty-one years and did what was right in the eyes of YHWH (1 Kings 15:9-24); a Levite also bears the name (1 Chronicles 9:16).

The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels.

The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.
