Hi @Sunilkumar k 

As I see in the changelog, the epic name field is not mandatory anymore starting on  15/01/2023

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/changelog/#CHANGE-687

here is the full doc about this change: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-articles/Upcoming-changes-to-epic-fields-in-company-managed-projects/ba-p/1997562

Maybe someone in your organization with jira admin rights change the field config of the project you want to create an epic in and set the epic name field as mandatory... You should check your project config if you can... 

I hope this help.
