Hi Vamsi Kosuri,
Field Name will be unique, when you are creating a custom field in an Object then you can provide same value in Label as well as Field Name but when you create it then it will auto add  '__c '
Every Custom field Name have  '__c ' .
you can learn from this :

Hi Vamsi.

Field Name is tha name which gets generated by salesforce . It will be unique. For all the custom fields the Name will end with __c.
You can use the same name for Label and name but salesforce will append it with __c at the end.

Please find the below article for more details.
