Greetings KyWildcat4Ever,
The device name can get changed with a number of resets, even a reset designed to reset the network settings (typically used for Wi-Fi or other connectivity issues) resets the device’s name.
You can always change that name in Settings > General > About. Change the name of your iPhone
Change the name of your iPhone
You can change the name of your iPhone, which is used by iCloud, AirDrop, your Personal Hotspot, and your computer.
1. Go to Settings > General > About > Name.
2. Tap the ‘x’, enter a new name, then tap Done.
Thanks.
