With XSLT 2.0, you can accomplish this as following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

  <xsl:template match="root">
    <root>
      <xsl:for-each-group select="data" group-by="@name">
        <xsl:copy-of select="current-group()[1]" />
      </xsl:for-each-group>
    </root>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
