The name is the name of the community. The actual name that’s all lowercase is the name it will show on the URL. You can name the community anything but the url cannot have weird things in it

Name will essentially be the text after the c/ in the URL
Display Name allows extra text and will show when people browse using the Communities tab. Text in the Display Name is also searchable

example: I made a community called ‘retronet’
that is the Name, which corresponds to this url: lemmy.sdf.org/c/retronet

the Display Name is ‘retroNET - Vintage Culture/Websites/Software’, which is what people see in the Community browser
