Why is dataloader.io not mapping Full Name in import?

Question

I'm trying to use dataloader.io to import new data to Days Off in Salesforce. I performed an export on a few day’s off records to see what fields and values are available. "Full Name" is one of the fields. When I try to upload a test CSV, the mapping does not recognize the Full Name header automatically like other fields, and there is no Full Name option in the Select... menu: Day Off Insert Mapping

How do I determine what Header value to use to import a name? Help me with the reason why is dataloader.io not mapping Full Name in the import?

Dataloader.io is a web-based application so there's no need to download anything and works on all major browsers. With Dataloader.io free you get: + Import, export and delete from Salesforce up to 10,000 records per month. + Manage your files on remote or local servers using Dropbox, Box, and FTP.

The reason why dataloader.io not mapping Full Name is :

Full Name in standard objects like Lead, Person Account, and Contact is a formula field derived from fields First Name Middle name, and Last Name. In case you desire to update your Full Name, please make you include the fields from which it has been derived while retrieving data. Once you do this, the full name will automatically be updated.
