I want to export the custom names of the devices, such as my mobile phone, my sister’s mobile phone, and my mother’s mobile phone. This way I can quickly restore these custom names when restoring factory settings.
 
You're probably referring to this variable:
Code:
nvram get custom_clientlist
Following the command you provided, I can see the list of names, but can I back it up and restore it after resetting it to factory settings?
 
Save the data to a file and secure it somewhere.
Code:
nvram get custom_clientlist > custom_clientlist.txt

Then restore the data later.
Code:
nvram set custom_clientlist="$(cat custom_clientlist.txt)"
nvram commit
