You don't hold a copyright on just a name. Trademarks are for that but have to be applied for.

Trademarks don’t need to be applied for - a “common law trademark” is established through use. Much harder to protect than a “registered trademark” though, as you need to actively defend, rather than the mark simply being present in a registry.
