Hey Sc00tr,


You can find the steps to add names to photos for people in your Photos Library here: Find and identify photos of people in Photos on Mac - Apple Support


"Manually identify and name people in a photo

Some photos may contain people who are not automatically named. You can name them manually.

  1. In the Photos app  on your Mac, double-click a photo to open it.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose View > Show Face Names. Click the name (or click “unnamed”) under a face, type a name, then press Return (or choose a name that appears as you type).
  • Click the Info button  in the toolbar. Click the Add button , drag the circle to position it over the face if necessary, click the Name field, type a name, then press Return.
    • You can click the Add button  multiple times to identify multiple faces in a photo. To remove a name that you added to a face, click the Remove button  on the person.

To stop showing face names in photos, choose View > Hide Face Names."


Thanks!
