foreach($list as $row){echo $row['name'].',';}

or 

$new_arr = array();
foreach($list as $row){$new_arr[] = $row['name'];}
echo implode(',',$new_arr);

You can use array_column() function as follow:

$results = implode(',',array_column($list, 'name'));

Another possibility would be to use array_map:

$result = implode(',', array_map(function($a) { return $['name']; }, $list));

Or if you're using PHP >= 5.5, you could use array_column:

$result = implode(',', array_column($list, 'name'));

// your list
$list = array( "0" => array("name" => "Abirami" ),
    "1" => array("name" => "Amirtham" ),
    "2" => array("name" => "Ganesh Cinemas" )); 

// empty string to store names
$result = null;

// foreach loop to store individual name from array into string variable
foreach($list as $l) {
$result .= $l['name'] . ",";        
}
echo $result;

Output

Abirami,Amirtham,Ganesh Cinemas,
