What is the Holy Name of Jesus prayer? I don’t know what the prayer is and I would like to know, I heard many wonders happen when you repeatedly say this prayer.

Are you, perhaps, thinking of the Jesus Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me (a sinner)”?
This is a prayer that’s traditional to the Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches (most popular in the Churches of the Byzantine tradition). It’s typically prayed on a 33, 50, or 100 knot prayer rope (a knotted “rosary”) and frequently used by monks in lieu of their participation in the Divine Office.

I think you might mean -
https://www.amazon.com/Wonders-Holy-Name-Paul-OSullivan/dp/0895554909
ETA - saying ie praying the Holy Name of Jesus devoutly, reverently and with love. The above book on page 5 says that each time we say “Jesus” devoutly we give God great glory, receive great graces ourselves and we help the souls in purgatory.

There’s a ton of traditional prayers honoring the Holy Name of Jesus.
Here’s the Litany to the Holy Name:
Here’s a bunch more prayers with a histor of the devotion:

Even if you just said the name “Jesus” over and over as a prayer, that would work.
All of these prayers, if said sincerely, can give great grace and bring about wonders.
Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever.

That’s one of the MANY prayers. The “Jesus Prayer” that Philip mentioned up thread is another one.
As I said there are a bunch.

It’s absolutely wonderful and I recommend it whole-heartedly to everyone.
@SlavesOfJesusandMary the is just saying the Name (single word) “Jesus” with reverence and love. Just His Name. Even repeat it slowly with love, 3 times.

Eastern Catholics are Catholics and fully members of the Catholic Church. The Jesus Prayer is as much part of Catholic tradition as the rosary.
That being said, I once had a Roman Catholic priest in Confession assign to me the penance of simply saying, “My Jesus, mercy.” In a way, that was one of the most powerful penances I’ve ever received, as it’s continued to influence me over twenty years later. I’ve always thought of that as a Roman/Western version of the Jesus Prayer.
