Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19 and 1.20, the entity value for a phantom is phantom. The phantom entity has a unique set of NBT tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as phantom). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {NoAI:1}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {NoAI:1, CustomName:"\"Spooky\""}.

NBT Tag Examples
To summon a phantom that is named Spooky:
/summon phantom ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"\"Spooky\""}
To summon a phantom whose circling point in the air is set to the coordinate (-846,91,216):
/summon phantom ~ ~ ~ {AX:-846, AY:91, AZ:216}
Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=phantom value, you can target phantoms:
@e[type=phantom]
Target Selector Examples
To change the name of the nearest phantom to Spooky:
/data merge entity @e[type=phantom,limit=1,sort=nearest] {CustomName:"\"Spooky\""}
To kill all phantoms:
/kill @e[type=phantom]
