Never mind, I got the answer.
Basically, in the approval process, for every steps you can select an action. In this case, I just needed to select Field Update in the 
Final Approval Actions step to update my custom field "Approver Name" with this formula

$User.FirstName & ' ' & $User.LastName
For the logged in user
