If there are very few names, then use SUMIF.
If there are many names, use a pivot table.

Somebody pls guide me regarding how to use pivot table in this case to
get a final worksheet with no repetitive entries of column 1, and the
total of the repetitive entries in column 2 for each entry of column 1
