What is the name of the object which holds the candles on Hanukkah?

Answer 1

That candle holder is referred to as a "Hanukkah-menorah", or Hannukiyah.

The original Menorah was the holder of the oil lights in the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, and had seven branches.

The holder for the Chanukah lights ... whether candles or oil ... has places for eight lights, plus an elevated holder for one more that's used to light the other eight.

Answer 2

Most North American Jews call it a menorah, but this is an inaccurate term. "menorah" is just the Hebrew word for "lamp". THe specialized menorah used on Hanukkah is called a Hanukkiyah (also spelled Chanukiah).

Answer:
The above is completely mistaken. The word "Hanukkiah," while certainly an acceptable term, is a recent Israeli invention and is unknown to many Jews worldwide. And using "menorah" to refer to a mere lamp is also recent.
The classical Halakhah (Jewish law) sources, and Jews worldwide, have always used the word "menorah" to refer to the Hanukkah candle-holder (or oil-wick holder). Originally it referred to the candelabra of the Holy Temple and the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.25).
