Apparently some apps display a different name on the app store details page than they do once downloaded and placed on the home screen.
This makes good sense since space is highly limited underneath the app icon on the home screen. My question is how to do this?
Where is the name used on the home screen defined?
Where is the name used on the app store applications detail page defined?

If the name change is significant but the functionality is not changing significantly, then the App Store won't have an issue. But if the app has been released, and the name change is significant and the functionality is significantly different, then the App Store will tell you to submit under a new bundle ID.
No matter what you do, keep these three things in mind: Your app name must be relevant to your app. Don't choose a title that's so unique it no longer speaks to the functionality or gameplay of your app. Don't use special characters.
No, the name of your app as it appears in the App Store must be unique. When creating your app, you will receive the following error if you try to use a name that is already taken: The Application Name that you provided has already been used.
The name used on the app store applications page detail is defined on iTunes Connect when you upload the app.
The name of your binary is in your Project Setting underneath the Info panel (Bundle display name) when you select your target.

Just to elaborate on @Ganzolo's answer, these images show where each of those are defined. The home screen title is defined in your app's info.plist file in the bundle display name string, and the App Store page name is set when you click add new app in iTunes Connect
