What does the name Jehovah's Witnesses mean?
Jehovah is the personal name of God, as found in the Bible. A witness is a person who relates facts from direct personal knowledge or proclaims views or truths of which he is convinced. Thus, the name Jehovah's Witnesses designates an organized group of Christians who proclaim the truth that Jehovah is a loving and just God, deserving of our love and obedience. They do this by sharing what they have learned from the Bible with friends and neighbors.

Jehovah is another word for god, they claim they witnessed god and they want to tell other people about it. I don't believe anything they say though.

Well at Psalms 83:18 Jehovah is gods name. So a Jehovah's witness is some who is gods witness. This means we go out and peach from house to house talking to people about Jehovah and his son Jesus .

Apparently, someone witnessed Jehovah doing something he probably wasn't supposed to be doing.

Because god is a title. Just like u have a name, you dont want any one to call you boy . You want to be called by your name,even Jesus was referred to as a faithful witness at rev. 1:5

Jehovah's Witnesses are not Christians per se, as they do not believe that Jesus is God.

Well I'm a Jehovah's witness and it's just a religion and nothing else, and it is true that we don't believe that jesus is god because he is the son of god.

You don't believe in Jesus being the Son of God? You don't think he died for our sins?

Mm..... I believe that Derek said they don't believe that Jesus is God. They believe that Jesus is the son of God. The difference would be, for example, in my Christian faith we believe in the Godhead. In other words the Father Son and Holy Spirit are as one. :)

Jehovah is a mix between the Hebrew consonants JHVH (alternately YHWH), which is the Name of God according to Exodus 3 and elsewhere, and the vowels for the Hebrew word for "Lord." It is how JW refer to God based on the KJV (and others following) tradition of directly transliterating the mix of the two words. A witness is one who attests to something. JW attest to the nature of YHWH as revealed in the OT and view Jesus as the Son of YHWH, our saviour, but not a figure of worship.
