Hi I have come across the phrase «give name to» and I don’t know what it means exactly. I saw it in several places:
1. my heart breaks with emotion I can’t, or won’t, give name to,…
2. give name and voice to the horror
3. it is at the very moment when they decide to give name to their superiority…
I believe it does not literally mean naming sth. Does the phrase means «facing sth directly» or «acknowledging the presence of sth»?
Thanks very much!!

I cannot comment on the first two as they are not complete sentences.
The third one lacks context — could you add context?

«Give name to» is not standard English, in my experience. My guess is that these were not written by a native (first-language) English speaker, or they’re literal translations from a language in which that phrase exists, or they’re an attempt at some kind of quasi-literary rhetorical effect in, for example, a computer game or science-fiction narrative.
In other words, there isn’t enough context or even a full sentence to enable us to be specific about what the writer might have meant. Can you link to the sources?

3. I could only add context to this:
So I’ll say only this: The game of appearances consists in the person who writes appearing to be in a better position than the person who governs, since the person who writes is able to describe the rise and fall of the person who governs, while the person who governs does not in any way even take note of the rise and fall of the writer, unless it is to give a speech over the writer’s grave, though the speeches of those who govern over the graves of those who write perish just like their governments. On the other hand, the superiority of the person who writes is apparent only, for the reason that it is at the very moment when they decide to give name to their superiority, when they attempt to describe the rise and fall of the person who governs, that they experience failure, for in literature any casual gesture is likely to end in failure. And if not failure, then a significant compositional fault, which is often a failure.

«Give name to» is not standard English, in my experience.
OED:
P10. a. to give name to (now rare),
1639 T. B. tr. J.-P. Camus Certain Moral Relations in S. Du Verger tr. J.-P. Camus Admirable Events 144 This Castle giveth name unto a Family sufficiently knowne.
1673 J. Ray Observ. Journey Low-countries 460 Frontignan, a little wall’d Town..which gives name to the so famous muscate wine.
1705 J. Addison Remarks Italy 8 On the Promontory..was formerly the Temple of Hercules Monœcus, which still gives the Name to this small Principality [sc. Monaco].
1883 Ordnance Surv. Gazetteer Scotl. III. 18 It gave name to an ancient thanage.
Because homework comes relentless and it’s such a wonderful night and my heart breaks with emotion I can’t, or won’t, give name to, because it’s a multi-ethnic city and Spanish rings soft in every place I look.
with emotion I can’t, or won’t, give name to, ->
with emotion to which I can’t, or won’t, give a name, ->
with emotion whose name I can’t, or won’t, give. ->
with an emotion which I can’t, or won’t, name
In all of these the verb/noun «name» can be literal or extended to mean «identify or reveal the identity of.»

It’s not a normal expression, as Enquiring Mind says above. There are only a few actual examples of it online, as far as I can see, and most of those may very well just be literal translations from other languages, or even typos where an article has inadvertently been omitted. It doesn’t have either of the meanings you suggest. It just means to apply a name to or bestow a name on something, either in the sense of lending it your own name, or in the sense of naming it as you would a child or a ship, or in the sense of revealing the nature or identity of something (as PaulQ says at the end of #5).
