Yes. The legal requirements for warrants do vary between jurisdictions, so it depends on where you are. But as a general rule, in order to be valid, an arrest or search warrant must name a specific person or premises.

Is it possible the person named in the warrant is not guilty?

Very much. A warrant is issued before a conviction, and our criminal justice system is based on the idea that we are innocent until proven guilty so a warrant is no indication of guilt. It is also very possible that a warrant can be served on the wrong person. A warrant has all the identifying information available to the court, but it is possible that the information is nothing more than a name and a date of birth.
