I also experienced the same issue, where the content was displaying $name. The root cause of the issue is mentioned below:

  1. The item does not have a version.
  2. Template is version in other language.
  3. Invariant Language is present in the Language list.

$name is a token that can be placed in fields in Sitecore on Standard Values items to instruct Sitecore, upon creation of an item, to set the value of the field to be the name as the name of the item. Here are two reasons you are seeing this on the front-end:

  1. As @SergeyShushlyapin mentioned in his comment above, you may have code that is retrieving the Standard Values item itself
  2. You may have code that is retrieving all versions of the item and is now picking up an old version of this item that still has the token in the field (the token may have been added to the Standard Values of this item's template after some versions of the item were created)

In the Sitecore content editor,

  • Go to the homepage item.
  • Press "Presentation" tab in the top menu.
  • Press "Details" button in Layout section top submenu

Now you see al placed controls on this page. Click edit and choice controls and delete the unwanted control, or fix the datasource.
