How to change a page name on Facebook

There are tons of reasons you may want to update the name of a Facebook page, from correcting a typo, to adjusting the topic to simply giving it a fresh look. We’ve put together this step-by-step guide to show you how to do it.

What you’ll need:
- A Facebook page with a name you want to change
