Apple-TV as hot name of MacBook Pro

When I first started the MacBook and Terminal, I found my host name is yucs@Apple-TV.

yucs is my account name. Normally, the second part should be MacBook-Pro. I have asked Apple Support. They have no idea why this happen. Their final solution is erasing the disk and reinstalling MacOS.

I wonder if anybody meeting the same problem I have before?

My device is 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max 10+24

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.5

I am curious. The part after @ is normally the name you gave your Mac in System Settings > Sharing, adjacent to Computer Name.

What does it show?

If it is Apple TV, you can change it by typing something else in that field.
