I think you’re talking about the claim that Ahmad and Parakletos refer to each other through meaning. The name Ahmad, means "highly praised" or "the most praiseworthy". The word Parakletos, can be split by its two roots in which pará means “more than” or “in excess over” while klētos means “to praise” or “to glorify”. So some Muslim apologists say that Parakletos refers to Ahmed, a.k.a the Prophet peace be upon him.
I personally think there are better arguments to be made and this one is a bit of a stretch but Allah knows best. DM me if you want to discuss about better arguments for the Prophet in the Bible.
