If you want to know the Computer Name of your Mac (Macbook/iMac/Mac Studio) you can make use of the scutil - the interactive access to the dynamic store for macOS.
scutil --get ComputerName
As you can see, we made use of the --get option followed by ComputerName.
If you want to change the name of your Mac using Terminal, you can make use of the --set option along with scutil.
scutil --set ComputerName "Alan's Macbook Pro"
