Filters the name to associate with the “from” email address.

$from_name string

Name associated with the "from" email address.

• The filter modifies the “from name” used in an email sent using the wp_mail() function. When used together with the ‘wp_mail_from‘ filter, it creates a from address like “Name <first.last@example.com>”. The filter should return a string.
• If you apply your filter using an anonymous function, you cannot remove it using remove_filter() .
