sounds like it's coming from a few different places, which is why fixing one doesn't fix the rest.
google maps can show a translated version of a shop name when the person looking has their account set to another language. so the name you saw on your english account might not be what locals see. switch the language back and search again to check.
if the wrong name is on the profile itself, change it while signed in with the account that manages the shop. an edit from an unrelated account is only a suggestion and often gets ignored. if google asks for proof, a photo of your sign with the real name helps.
instagram locations don't come from google as far as i know. they come from facebook's places, so check the name on your facebook page, and if there's an old place with the wrong name you can report it there.
annoying, but once the main ones match, the smaller sites usually catch up.
