Chapter names serve many purposes so, as long as your choice is one that fits with other chapter names, it's fine.

If you always named the chapter after the POV character then you had one named after a non-POV character, it would be confusing. But if you regularly named other chapters after events or happenings in the chapter, then naming it after a character your main character meets is pretty normal and straightforward.

While writing, chapter names are mostly for your own personal navigation use. Since you might not remember what "Chapter 23" is about without it.

When you're done with the book to the point of not just finishing the first draft but revising it to be ready for your beta readers, go through the table of contents and make sure the chapters make thematic sense and that none are duplicates or stand out as unusual.
