I do not think that Wisdom 1:5 is the earliest use of "Holy Spirit" and if you count "Spirit of Holiness" as equivalent (I am not sure that it is equivalent) then the title may go back as far as Moses.

By the way, since spirits are neither male nor female the question should be: Why is the Spirit of God called Holy?
