Reset to default

@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=," %%a in (file.csv) do set "_%%a=%%b"
echo your variables are:
set_

Output with your example data:

your variables are:
_Name=Test User1
_Name2=TstUser Two
_Name3=Test User Three

Edit to get a single line/variable only:

@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=2 delims=," %%a in ('type file.csv^|findstr /bi "Name,"') do set "Name=%%a"
echo %Name%

My requirement is to get just the Test User1 in to %%a
Sorry, I understood and other variables similarly to different variables wrong then. See my edit (I left the original code, because it may help future searchers)
for /f "tokens=2 delims=," %%a in ('type file.csv^|findstr /bi "Name,"') do set "Name=%%a" This solution did not help me as i only get 'Test' as the output and not **Test User1 **
That can only happen, if you either have ...delims=, " or no delims at all (relying on the standard delimiters). "tokens=2 delims=," correctly gives Test User1.
Sorry My bad , your solution is absolutely works for me.Thank you
