You can change the name that appears on all your Gmail emails. It’s easy to do and I’ll show you how to do it below.
There are many reasons for changing your display name, for example you may have got married and simply want to change your surname. Or maybe you go by a new name and want people to recognise emails from you.
Whatever the reason, it’s quick and painless to change your Gmail name.
How To Change Your Gmail Name
To change your display name you’ll need to log into your Gmail account.
Once you’re logged in, click on the Settings icon (it looks like a gear wheel). On the menu that opens, click “See all settings”.

Summary
There are many reasons that you might want to change the name that appears on your Gmail emails. Often it could simply be a typo when setting up the account. Or maybe you just want to use capital letters for your initials (as I’ve done here).
Sometimes you might be re-purposing your account, either for work, school or social use. Fortunately it’s not difficult to do
