1.000+ places in the NT where God's name is to be recognised?

 Has God's name truly been removed from the NT or is it merely not too recognisable because, it is tucked away in the names of bible characters mentioned in the NT.

Would you be surprised to know, that God's name appears over 1,000 times in theophoric names mentioned in the NT in its reduced form?
God's name in the NT?
Occasionally I get sent some emails from brothers from across the world, I was sent this one and it counts the amount of times, God's name occurs in the NT, albeit in its shortened form!
A fellow apologist JW sent me this some years ago and since then, many new ones have come on fb, so, I would like to share the research with them!
Just a note:
In the KJV we see at Rev 19 "Halleluia", please pay attention to the "ia" at the end of "Hallelu-iah", as it is pronounced "yah", because of how old English works).
In other translations we see "Hallelujah" (NASB)
"I have calculated that in the NT now we have God's Name Jehovah in it,
at least 1123 times!
Examples:
Allelu-Yah 4+ (Rev. 19)
Mattith-Yah 5+ (Mt 9.9; 10.3)
Mattati-Yah 2+ (Lu 3.25,26)
Zekhar-Yah 11+ (Lu. 1.5)
Yoh-chanàh 136+ (John)
Abi-Yah 3+ (Lu. 1.5)
Yeho-shaphat 2+ (MT 1:8)
Hezeki-Yah 2+ (Mt 1.9,10)
Yeu-tham 2+ (Mt 1.9)
Yishay 5+ (Mt 1.5,6)
Uzzi-Yah 2+ (Mt 1.8,9)
Yeho-h'achàz 2+ (Mt 1.9)
Yosh-Yah 2+ (Mt 1.10,11)
Ykon-Yah 2+ (Mt 1.11,12)
Yeho-shua 906+ (Jesus)
= 1123 times!"
