Then you should have followed my advice and read the SEE ALSO section of
"man mkfs", which would have forwarded you to "man mkfs.vfat", where you
would have found this:

SYNOPSIS
mkdosfs  [  -A  ] [ -b sector-of-backup ] [ -c ] [ -l filename ] [ -C ]
[ -f number-of-FATs ] [ -F FAT-size ] [ -h number-of-hidden-sectors ]
[ -i volume-id ] [ -I ] [ -m message-file ] [ -n volume-name ] [ -r
root-dir-entries ] [ -R number-of-reserved-sectors ] [ -s
sectors-per-cluster  ]  [-S logical-sector-size ] [ -v ] device
[ block-count ]

...

-n volume-name
Sets the volume name (label) of the filesystem.  The volume name can be
up to 11 characters long.  The default is no label.
