Try this:

name="Stack over flow"  
sshpass -p${serverpassword} ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${username}@${servername} 
"for i in \$name; do echo $i; done"

JavaScript
 
name="Stack over flow"  sshpass -p${serverpassword} ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${username}@${servername} "for i in \$name; do echo $i; done"​

You need to double quote your command line and right escaping.
