How to set error.name in extended class Error in Node.js?

I'm trying to set the error name err.name = 'ExpressValidatorError';

of an custom Error class class AppError extends Error

that is passed to centralErrorHandler to filter and handle errors by err.name.

I have did a lot of research but still couldn't figure out why err.name in centralErrorHandler console logs as undefined.

When I change return next(err); in auth.controller.js to throw err;, the err.name does console log as 'ExpressValidatorError' but i'm not sure if using throw is correct.

centralErrorHandler.js

module.exports = (err, req, res, next) => {    
 err.statusCode = err.statusCode || 500;
 err.status = err.status || 'error';   
      
 let error = {...err};

 console.log(error.name);

 if(err.name === 'ExpressValidatorError') error = handleExpressValidatorError(err);    

 if(err.name === 'InternalOAuthError') error = handleInternalOAuthError(err);    

 res.status(error.statusCode).json({
   status: error.status,            
   message: error.message            
 });  
}

auth.controller.js

const {validationResult} = require('express-validator');

exports.signup = (req, res) => {     
    const errors = validationResult(req); 
   
      if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
        let err = new AppError(`Invalid login credentials.`, 422);
        err.name = 'ExpressValidatorError';            
             
        return next(err);
      }

    res.status(200).send(req.user);          
}

appError.js

class AppError extends Error {
    constructor(message, statusCode){
        super(message);

        this.statusCode = statusCode;
        this.status = `${statusCode}`.startsWith('4') ? 'fail' : 'error';        
        this.isOperational = true;        

        Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor);
    }
}

module.exports = AppError;
