Hi, so I would like to change name from my gmail account to my domain name (contact@domain.com). I use gmail, but the person who sees the message should see contact@domain.com How to do that?

Spoofing a sender email address is (and should be) hard. You'd need to check quite a few boxes including proper sender authentication via DNS (SPF, DKIM...)

I'd suggest signing up for Google Workspace, Amazon SES or another SMTP service (e.g. Mailgun) that properly authenticates with your domains DNS.

As an alternative, you can always use a SMTP server from a cheap Webhosting-Provider and setup your DNS records with them. Deliverability will likely not be as bulletproof compared to professional ESPs like Google or Microsoft but it'll work on a budget.

Amazon SES is in my opinion the easiest professional ESP (E-Mail Service Provider) i know of. I'm using it for many of my clients without any issues.
