For some reason, none of the names of my named ranges are showing up in the Name Box. I'm pretty sure they were yesterday. This is true for every sheet in one workbook. In sheets in other workbooks, they do show up.

Is there some setting that suppresses the names being displayed?

This is a workbook I downloaded from this Bureau of Labor Statistics page:

May 2021 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates

I downloaded it again. The newly downloaded version does not have this problem, so I am assuming it's something I did, but I have no idea what.

I found another thread here with a similar topic, but those were all dynamic ranges. These are not. Most of them are a single cell. One or two are multiple cells.

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
I am not aware of a "setting" that suppresses names. You can hide names but you need to run code to do that.
I would be curious as to what happens if you run an unhide macro.

VBA Code:
Sub UnHideNames()
Dim nm As Name
For Each nm In Application.ActiveWorkbook.Names
    nm.Visible = True
Next
End Sub

I never got to run your macro. After I posted the question, I closed that workbook and went to bed. This morning when I reopened it, the names were displayed. ???
