Try to use another variable and be sure that the function you call has a valid name. Because if it returns nil it's because your function doesn't have the paremeter name.

Can we see when do you trigger the server event?

I'm just thinking you probably are putting in a player element which causes a error either the player never is there by that partial name.

Replace the function with this:

function siramiayarla(name, i) 
local player = getPlayerFromPartialName(name) 
if not player then outputChatBox ( "Player not found. Name" ..name.. "/ i: "..i )  
else 
outputChatBox("player found")  
end 
setElementData(player,"Sıra",i) 
end 

After running the code let me know what it outputs.

    local CreatTop = executeSQLQuery( "SELECT * FROM stats6" )

        table.insert(Top,{nickim = CreatTop[i].nickim,puan = CreatTop[i].puan}) 
    end 
    if #CreatTop >0 then 
        table.sort(Top, function(a,b) return (tonumber(a.puan)or 0) > (tonumber(b.puan)or 0) end) 
    setTimer( 
    function() 
        for k, data in ipairs(Top) do 
            triggerClientEvent (player,"siraayarla",player,tostring(data.nickim),tonumber(k))

Help pleasee!!

Instead of finding the player, why don't you simply send the player element using triggerClientEvent. Currently you are sending name which is not the right way to do it.
