You can only name the people in a photo, if Photos could recognize a face in the photo. If the face recognition did not see a face, it is not possible to name the people.


But if the face detection discovered to face, you can proceed as described here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph9c7ee918c/ios


Add a person to your People album
Open a photo of the person you want to add, then swipe up to see the photo details.
Tap a face under People, then tap Add Name.
Enter the person’s name or select it in the list, then tap Done.
