Since the truth is a memory, seems like a lot of people forget what they don't want to know.

Listen, I speak Hebrew and am well-versed in the Hebrew bible (in the original) so you can skip the links.
You have given no clear connection between Y-H-W-H and the number 3121.

BTW, the idea of there possibly being a connection occurred to me as soon as the name was announced, because of the four digits and the repetition of the 1 where the "hay" goes. But I can find no direct connection between them, and you haven't shown one.

does it matter guys

The 1 looks nothing like a "hay" and the 2 looks nothing like a "vav". I'll grant you the top of the threes looking like a yod, but here's something you didn't consider:

Hebrew's written from right to left!

Funny thing is - you're on much stronger ground this way: the final one looks A LOT like a cursive "yod" and this explains why it's short. The first one looks A LOT like a cursive vav.
Unfortunately neither the two nor the three look anything like a "hay".

Remember, if you're claiming this is the "true meaning" of 3121, you would have to assume that P took Y-H-V-H and from there created 3121. You need to show a direct link. Sorry, it's not there.

Okay - here's how you do it:

If you cut off the bottom of the two and turn it 90 degrees, moved slightly to the left, you've got a "hay".

If you cut the three into two pieces as it appears, turn the curved one 90 degrees to the left, move it up and move the top bit down, you've got something that looks like another "hay".

This way's good, because it explains why the numbers look like they're made of separate pieces stuck together and why the last "one" is smaller than the first.

Wow, I think you've almost convinced me!

(But not quite - it's a fun game, but how come the first time we saw 3121 it was in that square script which can't be manipulated this way?)

oh my god

Quite true, I think some people are trying way too hard to prove a connection.
All this cutting up of the numbers to make letters is barking up the wrong
tree IMO. The real connection is more subtle and doesn't involve this kind
of forced cut 'n' paste job.

However, I think it's clear from the way the 1's are written on the original
3121 logo on the back of Prince's jacket that there IS a connection to the
tetragrammaton. As to why Y=3, H=1 and W=2, I have no idea... But it
seems pretty clear that the connection is deliberate.

As I pointed out, Hebrew's written from right to left, therefore:

1=Y (which is visually clear, using the jacket font)
2=H (only makes sense by cutting up the number, otherwise ?)
1=W (again, clear on the jacket font)
3=H (again, only by cut-and-twist)

But, as I said, such a derivation seems too far-fetched: it doesn't explain why he chose those numbers to begin with, or their significance when written in other fonts.

If the person who designed the 3121 logo was reading this thread right now, they would be laughing their ass off.

I really have to strain my eyes and imagination to actually "see" the
Hebrew letters hidden in 3121( and I speak Hebrew...) when people are looking for deeper meaning in things/people ,they usually end up giving very sophisticated explanations that nobody really grasps.

Just found this, don't know how bonafide it is but it's on the MTV website

That would be Prince... and yes, he does think all this speculation is amusing.

Having said that, he did say that the clues to the meaning are highlighted on
the cover. Well, if you notice, certain numbers are highlighted on the cover.
