What was the other disciple's name in John 1:36-40?

John 1: 36-40
"Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,  36 And  he  looked  at  Jesus  as  He  walked  along,  and  said,  Look!  There  is  the  Lamb  of  God!  37 The  two  disciples  heard  him  say  this,  and  they  followed  Him.  38 But  Jesus  turned,  and  as  He  saw  them  following  Him,  He  said  to  them,  What  are  you  looking  for?  [And  what  is  it  you  wish?]  And  they  answered  Him,  Rabbi--which  translated  is  Teacher--where  are  You  staying?  39 He said  to  them,  Come  and  see.  So  they  went  and  saw  where  He  was  staying,  and  they  remained  with  Him  1  that  day.  It  was  then  about  the  tenth  hour  (about  four  o'clock  in  the  afternoon).  40 One  of  the  two  who  heard  what  John  said  and  followed  Jesus  was  Andrew,  Simon  Peter's  brother."

Based on the above scripture, one of the disciples was Andrew. Who was the other one? What is his name?

John 1:36 - 40

AMP - 36 And he looked at Jesus as He walked along, and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God! 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Him.

John, the author of the book. 

John never named himself in his books. He always spoke of himself in the third person.

The fact that he knew the precise time (v 39) indicates that he was an eyewitness to this event. It could be also that meeting Jesus for the first time was so life-changing for him that he remembered the precise hour it happened.
