Regarding name above the iPhone model

Hi, I purchased an iPhone mobile . I login with my Apple ID everything got synced but the only thing irritates me is the name above the phone model is showing others name. How to remove it. I tried sign out and singing in with my Apple ID. But still I can see their name. Can’t we remove the name completely if we purchase others iPhone. Can anybody help in this issue

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12

Are you talking about the device name in Settings > General > About? If so, all you have to do is tap on the name and enter a new one.

What seems more concerning to me is that if this field still shows the previous owners name, then the iPhone was not reset properly.

the link below is what then seller is supposed to do before selling an iPhone. When you as a buyer receive it, should be on a screen that says 'Hello' in rotating languages.
