The meaning cannot be "my God is YAHWEH", because the name doesn't contain the element for "YHWH" (that is usually ''yah'', ''yahu'' or something like that). The correct meaning should be something like "He is God" or "He is my God" (you can check here: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Elihu , here: http://books.google.it/books?hl=it&id=FVyHTUQnnBgC&q=elihu#v=snippet&q=elihu and here: http://books.google.it/books?id=gt44XaOQotsC&pg=PA150&#v=onepage&q=Elihu ). Bye and thanks for your precious work :)
