That is the name of your phone. You can change it by going to Settings/General/About and tapping on the name to edit it. The (2) is because iTunes or Finder has “seen” another iPhone, so it appended the (2) to differentiate them from each other. It might also be the same phone if the phone was restored from a backup.
