Hi,

If you want to change the name of all accounts than you can do something like below :

List<Account> accNameList = [Select Name from Account];
for(Account acc : accNameList ){
    acc.Name = acc.Name.split(' ')[0];
}

Now your accNameList will hold all the accounts with modified name.

Let me know if you need more help on this.

Thanks,
Abhishek

You can do something like this :

String accName = Account.Name.split(' ')[0];

It will return you the first word of the account name which is your requirement.
Now use this string in your VF page where you want to show account name.

Let me know if you need more help on this.

Thanks,
