The name under the user icon is the name of the Environment. You can change it
https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/environments
Click the environment you want
click 'Edit' in the corner of the Details section, this will slide out a panel from the right, then change the Name.

The other Name I think (as your box is not around anything when I view your screen shot) is the Name of your App, you can change it
make.powerapps.com -> Apps
Select the App and then chose Settings
click "Edit App Name" then Properties
Save and Publish
Note: both these names are not usually the same as an Environment can have many Apps.

Hi @Fubar ,
I want to change the name according to each environment.
For example:
DEV environment: [App name (DEV)]
After release to the SIT environment, the name will automatically change to [App name (SIT)]

Do you know an alternative to adding an environment variable to the app name ?

As far as I know that is not possible (and to be honest I wouldn't want to do that).
You can get rid of the GUID in the apps url by setting a URL suffix under the Apps Manage Roles area - but this is not what you are asking to do.

Edit: if you have people that are using dev and you want them to no longer have access to it then implement Security Group in Azure/Office 365 and attach it to your Dataverse instance, you then can add remove from the Security Group to give/remove access.

Hi @Fubar ,
The reason I want to add the above is because I want to distinguish the environments more easily.
Because if I change the design, the release will synchronize all the design to other environments.

Look into using a Theme - what we usually do is set the Header different colors for Dev, Test, and Prod and can also put a logo. Themes do not move in Solution Files so they don't get overwritten when you import a Solution File you just have to set them in each environment.

Not sure if they are in the new interface yet, in the Classic Interface they are under Settings->Customization->Themes

Agree with @Fubar here. I think this is fairly standard practice, one reason XrmToolBox has the option of syncing to the environment theme for connections - that way your devs/admins know exactly which environment they're in just by looking at it.
It may seem silly, but sometimes it's worth making your dev environments extremely obnoxious colors (e.g. bright pink) so that when a user is in an upper environment they can feel the difference
