According to Exodus 6:3, the name of Lord "Jehovah" was not known to Abraham.So, Abraham, I believe, might have used the name "Most High God", possessor of heaven and earth, as said by Melchizedek because "Jehovah" the Lord is the "Son of man" who is the creator and care taker of human race and God of Israel, came out of "El,Elohim", the Most High God.
