Just use the updateProfile API. Here is an example with web on how to update the display name to the one in the provider data (assuming Facebook):

firebase.auth().currentUser.updateProfile({
  displayName: firebase.auth().currentUser.providerData[0].displayName
}).then(function() {
  // Display name updated successfully.
}).catch(function(error) {
  // error occurred.
});

To learn more about this API, refer to the Firebase references.
