The "Lord" in naming the name of the Lord in 2 Timothy 2:19 refers to the Lord Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows those who are His.
And, let everyone who names the Name of the Lord depart from iniquity.
Acts 19:13
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to
name over those who had evil spirits the Name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
Furthermore, when "the Name of the Lord" is used by Paul (speaking and in his writings) it is always in reference to the Lord Jesus.
Romans 10:13 (see the first link below)
For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 21:13
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break my heart?
For I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus.
1 Corinthians 6:11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit our God.
Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

name over those who had evil spirits the Name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.
Romans 10:8, 13
(8) ...the word of faith which we are preaching,
(13) for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
A major component of what Paul preached (Romans 10:8; cf. Acts 19:13) includes the fact the Lord Jesus is God (Romans 10:13).
The "Master" in 2 Timothy 2:21 and the "Lord" in 2 Timothy 2:22 both refer to the Lord Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:21-22
(21) Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, sanctified, useful to the Master, ready for every good work.
(22) So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who
call on the Lord from a pure heart.
1 Corinthians 1:2
To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place
call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours.
Acts 9:14-15
(14) And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Thy Name.
(15) But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel.
To call upon the Lord Jesus refers to praying to the Lord Jesus. Since the Bible teaches God alone is the proper recipient of prayer proves the Lord Jesus is God.
