Etymology
From tꜣ (“land”) + šꜣsw (“Shasu”) + yhwꜣ, with the first two elements in a direct genitive construction and the last in apposition, thus literally ‘yhwꜣ, the land of the Shasu’. yhwꜣ is apparently a toponym; some have hypothesized the toponym to be derived from a theonym, which would make it one of the earliest known references to Yahweh.
