The project.name property in Maven contains a human-readable name of the artifact:

name: Projects tend to have conversational names, beyond the artifactId. The Sun engineers did not refer to their project as "java-1.5", but rather just called it "Tiger". Here is where to set that value.

Source: name: https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#more-project-information

For automatically created filenames, artifactId in combination with groupId would be a better alternative.
