From WoWWiki

Main Menu


Retrieves the spell name and spell rank for a spell in the player's spellbook. If you're trying to read the spell book at login, register for the PLAYER_LOGIN event.

spellName, spellRank = GetSpellName( spellId, bookType );

Arguments
spellId 
Integer - Spell ID. Valid values are 1 through total number of spells in the spellbook on all pages and all tabs, ignoring empty slots.
bookType 
String - Either BOOKTYPE_SPELL ("spell") or BOOKTYPE_PET ("pet").

Returns
spellName 
String - Name of the spell as it appears in the spellbook, eg. "Lesser Heal"
spellRank 
String - The spell rank or type, eg. "Rank 3", "Racial Passive". This can be an empty string. Note: for the Enchanting trade skill at rank Apprentice, the returned string contains a trailing space, ie. "Apprentice ". This might be the case for other trade skills and ranks also.

Example
local i = 1
while true do
   local spellName, spellRank = GetSpellName(i, BOOKTYPE_SPELL)
   if not spellName then
      do break end
   end
   
   -- use spellName and spellRank here
   DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( spellName .. '(' .. spellRank .. ')' )
   
   i = i + 1
end
Result 
Displays every spell in the player's spellbook, on all pages and all tabs, in the format required by CastSpellByName.
