Some of my phone contacts do not have a name associated with them, This happened after I removed gmail from settings and tried to set up through apple email app. I have the new iPhone 12 pro max and activated it 2 weeks ago. How do I restore those names to the phone numbers. Thanks.

Given the context, I'm wondering if you actually mean you tried to set it up through the Gmail app. If so, I believe you still need to have your Google account added in Settings > Contacts > Accounts in order for the contacts to be available to other apps like the Phone app.
So as to not receive all your emails twice (in the Apple Mail app as well as the Gmail app) you can toggle off the Mail switch when adding the Google account:
