Method 1

Use this code:

$users = User::distinct()->get(['name']);
$users_count = [];
foreach ($users AS $user) {
    $user_count = User::where('name', $user->name)->count('name');
    $users_count[] = $user_count;
}

And in your blade use this code:

@foreach ($users AS $user_key => $user_value)
    <tr>
        <th scope="row">
            {{ $user_value->name }}
        </th>                            
        <td>
            {{ $users_count[$user_key] }}
        </td>
  </tr>
@endforeach

Method 2

try this in your controller:

$usersList = DB::table('users')->select(DB::raw('name as name, count(*) as 'count'  GROUP BY name'))->get();

and in your *.blade.php file

    @foreach ($usersList as $row)
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">{{ $row->name }}</th>                            
        <td>{{ $row->count }}</td>
      </tr>
    @endforeach
