Hi, a username is a name that you use to identify yourself, as well as to associate yourself with your account. Often, for online accounts, your username will be either a nickname that you pick yourself, or else it will be your email address.

A user-name is a name you create or want to be identified with. Many sites will ask you what user-name you wish to be identified with when you open an account with them. It is really up to you. It could be your actual name, part of your name, or a fictitious one. For example, my user-name for this site is Viper1usmc. It might be something else on another site. As long as it is available (no one else took it first) you can use it as yours.
