Holy Ghost

Holy Ghost was the common name for the Holy Spirit till 1901. It is the name used in the King James Version of the Bible, and is still the preferred name among conservative Pentecostal groups and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In 1901 the American Standard Version of the Bible translated the name as Holy Spirit and many modern translations have followed suit as the word ghost has lost its old meaning of the spirit or soul that is inside man.
