Different name in Passport and Residence Permit

Different name in Passport and Residence Permit - Facade of old stone building in classic style

I recently corrected the name and surname in my (Indian) passport while renewing it. Is there’s any issue in travelling with my work residence permit (Schengen country) which has the old name? I have all necessary documents.
