Describe the solution you'd like

In current -emails sent by the Nextcloud calendar application there are not a part with the "human readable" sender name, so in the common mail agents (yahoo, gmail, outlook ... etc) the message diaplays only mail address, but not a sender name (as it is usual with this type of dervices).

Other Nextcloud service which also sends e-mails (Server itself? only I guess) sends e-mails with the server name, so it is definitelly possible to do it in the Nextcloud. Server name is taken from the server configuration.

See attached piclures.

The best solution would be that the server API would provide (among others also) e-mail API which would construct sender string automatically (based on the server configuration) - then it would be consistent over the whole NC instance.
