I am a beginner at creating scores with Lilypond and I wonder if is there any way to make Lilypond automatically put note names below the staff (or above)? I searched the documentation but could not find it.

There's a NoteNames
context which seems to do what you want. I haven't tested the solution below, but I'm glad you did and it worked for you:
scale = \relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
\new Staff {
<<
\scale
\context NoteNames {
\set printOctaveNames = ##f
\scale
}
>>
}
