Percival repeats his name all the time in Lord of the Flies because it is the only thing that he has to remind himself of who he is and from where he came. It is his only tie to humanity.

In Lord of the Flies - who chants his address over and over?

The littlun Percival Wemys Madison repeats his name and address a number of times. He has obviously been taught to do this so that, in the event that should he ever become lost, he can be safely returned home. Unfortunately for Percival he is lost in a location from which he can't be returned home. Ironically when rescue finally arrives, in the form of the naval officer, Percival is so traumatised that he can no longer remember any of the information he has been taught to repeat.

What purpose does little Percival Wemys Madison serve now at the end of Lord of the Flies?

In my personal opinion, Percival shows to illustrate the loss of civilization on the island. Where in Chapter 5, Percival recites his name and address constantly, at the end, he cannot remember his own name. Coupled with Ralph's forgetfulness of why he was lighting the fire, the memory of civilization is clearly illustrated as fading.
