"He wants to get some records/make some records on his name". Is it correct?
 
No. Your meaning is unclear.
 
"The person wants to creat a world record".
 
'Set a world record.'

Not a teacher.
 
"The person wants to create a world record."

Note the correct spelling of "create".

As MatthewWai said, the phrase is "to set a world record" so your full sentence would be "He wants to set some [new] world records."
 
I take it to mean make music 'in his name', as in under his own (stage)name.
 
How does world record come into the picture?
Record in the music industry is obsolete these days.
How about: he wants to have his accomplishments acknowledged.

I agree with you. In addition, the OP clarified his meaning, making "music" an impossible context.
 
He wants to set a new world record on his name.
 
The ending is not needed, but if you use it, it should probably be "in his name'.
 
I agree with MikeNewYork that the last three words of your post are not necessary. A person can't set a world record in someone else's name. You set a world record yourself.
