Remove Mistyped Names from Faces List

I have mistyped a couple names while using facial recognition, and hit entered when complete. How do I delete those names so they no longer auto-populate while I type?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Hello ZaKeeper,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Community. I understand you'd like to change the autofill and names on the faces of your photos, and I'd like to help.

The good news is you should be able to change the name on the existing picture by clicking the name below the photos on the "People" album in Photos. Once you do it should not autofill the incorrect name anymore. For more details and instructions on how to do so have a look at the article below.

If the behavior persists, or you run into any trouble, the entire community is here to help.
Best Regards
