How can I change username on Apple Watch and on Mac?

When my Watch displays the good morning message when Sleep Focus ends, it addresses me as "DavidsM1". DavidsM1 was the computer name of a Mac Mini that I had a few years back. Any idea why the watch has picked up this name (I think I upgraded the Mac before I got this version of the Watch), and how I can change it to one of my current Macs? I've looked and looked!

Thanks for that. But when I go to that page on my watch, it shows my actual name (“David Stevens”), not the “DavidsM1” that the “good morning” screen shows. I’ve looked and looked (in my Apple account; on my devices) but haven’t been able to find where the old Mac name is saved. It’s very odd.
