AWS Backup EBS volume with a name

Question

I have a CloudWatch Rule setup to backup some EBS volumes. It executes fine, but in the EC2 window under snapshots the name column is not populated.

Anyone know how I can modify the rule to give a name to each EBS snapshot when the rule executes?

According to my answer - what you use to backup that EBS? Lambda? Then I'll provide more explanation on how you can copy Name tag. — Michał Z.
I'm using a Cloudwatch rule that runs automatically on a schedule to create the backup of the EBS volume. — Kelly
Creeping on my old question but AWS Lifecycle manager is a much better way to go now. — Kelly

What you see there it's just Tag value for Tag key: Name

On creating snapshot - you can specify tags, so just copy Name tag from original EBS.
