And it's very annoying. It's one name on most MS websites, including this one, but the other, wrong name in Teams and some other sites.
It's almost as if they are using different fields to store names for different sites and cannot sync them.

- Hello AlexAbramov, wanted to ask if the issue is related to Teams or the web or the app on desktop.
If it app on the desktop please go ahead to clear cache by going to %appdata% > Roaming > Microsoft Then rename the Teams folder here to Teams_old. Again go to Settings from the Windows Start Menu > Account > Access Work or School > Locate user account and disconnect.
When the above is done then relaunch Teams and sign. Ensure that you have closed Teams app and Outlook before carry out the above.
