Get the player humanoid first then do player.DisplayName

You could do like:

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
         if v.Name == "theusername" then
                print("Hello world")
       end
end

if player.Name == "Name here" then

but if you wanna loop through every player

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
  if v.Name == "Name here" then
   -- do code
  end
end

Noticed the question wasn’t read or was misunderstood by alot of people.

If you want the player’s name on the client or through a localscript, it’s pretty simple.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerName = Player.Name

print(PlayerName) -- Will print the player's name.

And if you want the humanoid’s name, this code will work.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Humanoid = Player.Character.Humanoid
local HumanoidName = Humanoid.Name
local PlayerName = Player.Name

print(PlayerName) -- Will print the player's name.
print(HumanoidName) -- Will print Humanoid name.

Unless you change it, humanoid’s name will always be “Humanoid”.

you could do

repeat wait() until player.Character

local char = player.Character

print(char.Humanoid.Name)
