A load center is a panelboard.
Section 408.4 is the only code requirements for identification. Circuit directory and source of supply (if it is a non-dwelling)

Sometimes the info is not attached to the panel securely & it's lost.

Yes, but the OP said "name of the loadcenter". This is probably a project specification.

There are code sections that require directory type labeling or locations of disconnects being identified. Like interconnection or a disconnect for a transformer not within sight.
110.22(A) kind of pokes at it also.
But generally speaking there is no code section that requires you to label load centers or panelboards on the front cover.

408.4(F)(1).
Without being specific, these are among the requirements for a label on a panelboard.

And which of those say where the label is supposed to be? How many answer the OP about 'naming' a loadcenter!

Grumpy is one of the seven dwarfs in Disney's 1937 animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Depicted with a scowl and crossed arms, Grumpy is named for his cranky and pessimistic personality. His curmudgeonly attitude is a recurring source of tension amongst the dwarfs,

I think 408.4 is the closest thing you will find. Panelboards in other than one and two family dwellings must be marked to show the source of the supply and the feeder disconnect for those panelboards must be identified.
This would lead toward such identification you mention but does not directly require it.

I don't think you will find one. There are some labeling requirements but not one requiring it be "named".
Of course that does not mean that it cannot be a contractual requirement and contractual requirements are required to be abided by just like NEC requirements.
