Hi @Ravi Varma ,

The UI way changes the sharepoint library name, but the internal name is not changed. The Library Name fetched using the API should be the internal name, so the name before the change is displayed.

You can change the InternalName with SharePoint Designer and with PowerShell, Please refer to:https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/change-sharepoint-online-list-or-library-internal-name

Then check the api to get the name result.
