You can also edit your git user name in .gitconfig file.

You can find the file in : C:\Users\Your_User --> .gitconfig file change your name and email id and save it.

Github shows username based on author's email. Check both local and global emails:

git config --global user.email
git config --local user.email

I've checked your repositories on Github, the email addresses are different for different repositories.

To set new local values:

git config --local user.name "your name here"
git config --local user.email "your email here"
