You will have to use a DataView to merge those two columns into one:

var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([{
    type: 'string',
    label: 'Name',
    calc: function (dt, row) {
        return dt.getValue(row, 0) + ' ' + dt.getValue(row, 1);
    }
}, 2, 3]);

Use the DataView to draw the chart instead of the DataTable.
