How to Change Your Gmail Display Name | Change Your Sender Name in Gmail

In this video, we will show you how to change your Gmail display name.
The display name that is associated with the Gmail account is shown to the recipient whenever you send an email. Let’s say you want to change the display name of your Gmail account.
The display name can be changed from the settings section. However, it is important to note that the display name linked to your email address is not your username. You can't change your username or Gmail address.
Let’s get started.
When signed in to your Gmail account through the web browser, click on the settings icon on the top right corner. From the menu that opens up, click on “See all settings”.
From here, move to the “Accounts and Import” tab.
Move to the “Send mail as” section here, and click on the “Edit Info” option. Over here, you can either select the name specified in your Google Account or type in a different name.
Simply click on the radio button with the open field here and type in the name.
Once done, click on Save changes and the Gmail display name will be updated.
Alternatively, you can change the name in your Google Account and as long as this option is selected in the “Send Mail as” option, the Gmail display name will be automatically updated.
Let’s see how that will work.
Let’s open up the Google account from Gmail, move to Personal Info and click on the name here.
With the new page opened up, you can change the First Name and Last Name associated with your Google account.
Save the changes made and let’s head back to the Gmail account. Here, you can see that the Gmail display name is updated.
That’s all!

Man, So glad I found this video.
So helpful. Thanks!

[@tmac9208]

what do you do when that doesnt work even though it says its updated just like you showed? I suppose the question is how to force the update to others that have already received your old display name?

I changed my name, it did worked. But the name on my profile is still the same. Would you be able to help me out with it?

[@zenosis]

Thank you! I had my old RUclips username on it for some reason. Noticed it after I got a reply email from a job I was applying to... Probably not the best way to find out about it. I don't know if this solved the issue however as my sender name was already my own name, but then on the emails it showed as my old YT username.

[@GreenBlox_YT]

Thx now I can prank my dad

[@jtr.0007]

I had this problem as well but i was able to fix it go on your phone settings and find mail then click on accounts then go to your account and it should let you change the old name and new messages you send out should show the new name

Once you update it, will it also update the previously sent emails?

[@Grumpandgrouch]

I have always felt that just before I wake totally up I feel like I could conquer the world --but when I totally wake up reality sits in-- this totally explains it - for a fleeting moment I feel like I should be 18 again --and I am 59 -- I figured it was some kind of different conscience -- thanks for the clarification!

[@XxItodorixX]

So now YT comments show the email of your gmail account associated with the YT account. Do you know of a way to change this? I dont want people to see my email address, that was the point of using a nickname in the first place.

[@dancinlulu1576]

unfortunately I tried this exact fix and it didn't work. It still shows my old name. Are there any other work arounds to change the display name? thanks.

Thanks Bro

[@miguelgaddis5003]

Very helpful

[@battenkillchorale6874]

All well and good, but this does not change the display name in our gmail account. Account is for an arts group and the name of a previous president is used as the display name even though "Send Mail As:" indicates that the name of the arts group and not the former president will be displayed. Very confusing to members, especially new ones, who have no idea who this person is. I am about to ditch this account and start over with a new account, with all the attendant headaches that means. Any advice?

[@Grumpandgrouch]

this is an ad before you get to the link you chose about emails -- you have to skip it
