To change your name on Facebook, follow these steps:
- Log into your Facebook account.
- Click on the menu icon (three lines or your profile picture) usually at the top right corner.
- Go to Settings & Privacy, then select Settings.
- Find and click on Account Center.
- In Account Center, click on Profiles and select the profile whose name you want to change.
- Click on your name to edit it. You can change your first name, middle name, and last name.
- After entering your new name, review it carefully because Facebook only allows you to change your name once every 60 days.
- Save the changes.
This process works for both Facebook accounts and Facebook pages, but the exact navigation might differ slightly between the mobile app and desktop versions
. If you are using the Facebook app on iOS or Android, you can also:
- Tap the three lines at the top right.
- Go to Settings & Privacy > Settings > Account Center > Profiles.
- Select your account and tap on your name to change it
Note: Facebook enforces a 60-day waiting period between name changes, so choose your new name carefully
. If you have trouble finding the option, look for Account Center in your settings, as Facebook has moved the name change option there recently
