How to show device name in Android homescreen?

Question

Intune question related to Android devices:

Is it possible to show the device name on the homescreen of an Android device?
We have a lot of devices distributed across different divisions.
These devices have a managed homescreen on which we would like to show the device name.
Is that possible? Or with an app? Could find anything so far.

@Kristof Boeykens , Based on my research, I find there's a setting named "Show device's name on MHS" may be helpful. When the setting is set to True, we can view the device's Intune portal "device name" property from the Managed Settings app. We can configure it in app configuration policy to see if it can help. Here is a link with more details for the reference:

Hope it can help.

Thanks Crystal-MSFT. Your suggestion helped me.
I was not able to show the device name directly on the homescreen but it became available in "device info" when swiping down the settings menu on top of the screen.
