How to Change a Facebook Page Name in 2026 (Desktop and App)

Want to change your Facebook Page name? Maybe your brand changed, or you misspelled the name when you created the Page. When I helped a reader fix a misspelled Page name back in 2012, it took a special request form. Today you can change a Facebook Page name yourself in a few taps, though Facebook still reviews the change. Here is how to change Facebook Page name in 2026, plus the rules that can block it.

Quick answer: Switch into your Page, then go to Settings & privacy > Settings, open your Page profile details (in the new Pages experience this is under Accounts Center or Page setup > Name), edit the name, review the change and submit. Facebook usually approves it within a few days and notifies Page admins. Only people with full control of the Page can change its name.

How to change a Facebook Page name on desktop

1. Log in to Facebook and click your profile picture at the top right.
2. Choose See all profiles and switch into the Page you want to rename.
3. Click the Page’s profile picture again, then Settings & privacy > Settings.
4. Open the name settings (labelled Page setup, Profile details or Name depending on your account) and click Edit next to Name.
5. Type the new name, click Review change and then Request change.

How to change it in the Facebook app

1. Tap the menu and switch to your Page.
2. Tap the menu again, then Settings & privacy > Settings.
3. Find the Page name setting, tap Name, enter the new name and submit it for review.

Facebook Page name rules

• The name must accurately represent your Page, such as your brand, business or blog name.
• No generic words alone (“Pizza”), misleading claims or impersonation of other brands.
• No excessive capital letters, symbols or emoji.
• No “official” unless it is the official Page.
• You cannot change the name again too soon after a recent change.

Why a name change can be rejected

• The new name is very different from the old one and might mislead existing followers.
• The Page has a recent history of name changes.
• The name breaks Facebook’s naming rules.

If it is rejected, you can try a closer variation, or contact Meta support through the Professional dashboard or Meta Business Suite.

Don’t forget the username and links

• Change the Page username (the facebook.com/yourname link) separately in the same settings, if it is available.
• Update the name in your website footer, email signature and other social profiles so your brand stays consistent. See our guide to building a blog brand.
• Post an announcement so followers know the new name.
