What is the name of the Holy Spirit?

The Father is known by the name of Yahweh or Jehovah and the Son is known as Jesus or Emmanuel, but does the Holy Spirit have a name?

    The Holy Spirit is a force not a person hence no name.

    1 Corinthians 3:17 Now Jehovah is the Spirit; and where the spirit of Jehovah is, there is freedom.

    So, the Holy Spirit is not a 3rd person. Jehovah himself resides in heaven, but he can send his Spirit anywhere. Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as the finger of God. Luke 11:20

    There is a close relationship between the finger of God and exerting His power.

    The absolute transcendence of the spirit, who is therefore called "holy" (Is 63:10, 11; Ps 51[50]:13).

    The Spirit of God is in every respect "divine". He is not a reality which man can acquire with his strength, but a gift which comes from on high: he can only be invoked and received. Infinitely "other" with regard to man, the Spirit is communicated with total gratuitousness to those who are called to cooperate with him in the history of salvation. And when this divine energy finds humble and ready acceptance, man is stripped of his selfishness and freed from his fears; truth and love, freedom and peace flourish in the world.

    The best way to answer a question about the Bible is with scripture.

    Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

    Jesus is the name of God.

    Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

    Jesus came in the Father's name. The Father's name is Jesus.

    Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

    The Holy Ghost came in the name of Jesus. The Holy Ghost's name is Jesus.

    Th holy spirit is not a person, so it does not have a name. The Scriptures make clear that the holy spirit is a force that God uses to accomplish his will. To a certain extent, it can be likened to electricity, a force that can be adapted to perform a great variety of operations.

    In the bible the prophet Micah said “I myself have become full of power, with the spirit of Jehovah.” (Micah 3:8).

    Hope this anwsers your question ;-)

    The Comforter and Spirit of Truth = the Spirit of God.

    John1 4:16, 17

    And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, so that He may be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him nor know Him. But you know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you.

    John 16:7

    But I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send Him to you.

    The Holy Spirit does have a name; it's called the Devil.
