My dictionary says it means God, pronounced HaShem or Adonai. What I don't understand is the spelling. When you read it, it doesn't sound like any of those words.

You need to understand that you are not looking at an actual word. The double yud is a placeholder for the tetragrammation rather than writing out the entire name. Why the double yud? Explanations vary. The thing to remember is just as the tetragrammaton is never pronounced when countered in text, but rather the word adonai, or sometimes the phrase Hashem, is said instead, so too the placeholder, the two yuds, substitutes the same.
