That's because char is only big enough to hold one letter.
Furthermore, you're lucky you got that far (your program is
non-standard.

If you want to read a string, use a string type.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   string name;
   cout << "Name:  ";
   cin >> name;
   cout < "Hello, " << name << "\n";
}
