Reuirements:
Write a trigger on Account object.
Criteria:-

On Creation of account record, it should create one associated Contact record whenever above criteria meet.

Hi RupeshK67,
You can take reference from the below code and you can use substringBefore and substringAfter method. 
for(Account a:acclist){
            Contact con      = new Contact();
            if(a.Name.endsWith('rupesh') && a.Type.Contains('Customer')){
                con.LastName = a.name.substringBefore(' ')+' contact '+a.name.substringAfter(' ');
                con.AccountId = a.Id;
                  conList.add(con);
            }
        }

In case you find any other issue please mention.

my code :
class:
public class AccountTriggerHandler {
    public static void createContacts(List<Account> acclist){
        
        list<Contact> conList= new list<Contact>();
        for(Account a:acclist){
            Contact con      = new Contact();
            if(a.Name.endsWith('rupesh') && a.Type.Contains('Customer')){
                con.LastName = a.name.substring(a.Name.indexOf(''))+ ' Contact';
                con.AccountId = a.Id;
                  conList.add(con);
            }
        }
        if(conList!=null){
            insert conList;
        }
        
    }
}

it adds 'contact' at last but not in middle of contact name. Please help me to resolve it.

Hi Rupesh,
I think this is the good way. 
public class addWordMiddleOfLastName {
public static void createContacts(List<Account> acclist){
        
        list<Contact> conList= new list<Contact>();
    
        for(Account a:acclist){
            Contact con = new Contact();
            
              if(a.Name.endsWith('rupesh') && a.Type.Contains('Customer')){
                list<string> lstSplitData = a.name.split(' ');
                string sName = a.name.substringBefore(' ')+' Contact '+a.name.substringAfter(' ');
                system.debug('sName : ' + sName);
                con.LastName = sName;
                con.AccountId = a.Id;
                  conList.add(con);
             
            }
            
        }
        if(conList!=null){
            insert conList;
        }
        
    }
}
