As you have probably guessed your UNMC username as a meaning on to itself. The alphabets and numbers have certain meanings within them, they aren't random, but meaningful quips to identify. To properly identify the full name of a particular of username, you have a few options:

If you are an outsider, you may email student registry and request for a name look up, or otherwise, if you are a student, you may do a simple lookup using the check user function of your OWA. To do this, log on into OWA and then type a particular name into the address bar (the one with the to:) and resolve it using the the "check user" function. Additionaly you may click on the "to:" and search through the directory for names and emails of every affiliated member of the university.

Your username is made up of a combination of letters and numbers

The first 4 letters denote, campus and course, then the digits [1-2] denote year you enrolled. This is followed by 3 letters, the first 2 that are made up from your initials, and the final third being a random letter, which could come from any letter of your name, should there be a person with a similar name, typically its this letter that is different from that other. Example, if your username is KSAY5BBN 
 * then, your name could be Benjamin Buntton, you are in Business School, you enrolled in 2015, class of 2018.
