Requirements to Change a Facebook Page Name

  • You must have Facebook access with full control or admin rights.
  • The Page should not be restricted or unpublished.
  • The name must follow Facebook’s Page name guidelines.

Difference Between Page Name and Username

1. Page Name
This is the public name of your Facebook Page. It appears at the top of your Page and is usually the name of your business, brand, or public figure.

  • 🧾 Example:
    If you run a bakery called “Sweet Bites Bakery,” then your Page Name would be:
    👉 Sweet Bites Bakery

This is what people see when they visit your page or when your page shows up in search results or posts.

2. Username (Also Called @Handle)
This is a unique identifier that helps people find your page easily. It appears after the @ symbol and also becomes part of your page URL.

  • 🧾 Example:
    If your bakery’s Page Name is Sweet Bites Bakery, your Username might be:
    👉 @sweetbiteschennai

Your page URL would then be:
🔗 facebook.com/sweetbiteschennai

This makes it easier to share your page link with others.
