  1. Original Bible languages

 

Hebrew: ruach = ''breath, wind, spirit''

 

Greek: pneuma = ''spirit, breath''

Both simply mean Spirit of God.

 

  1. Old English usage

 

The word โ€œghostโ€ used to mean spirit (from Old English gast).

 

Early English Bibles (Tyndale, KJV 1611) used Holy Ghost because that was normal English at the time.

 

  1. Modern English shift

 

โ€œGhostโ€ now implies a dead personโ€™s apparition.

 

Modern translations use Holy Spirit to avoid confusion.
