How Do I Change My Bluetooth Name?
Editing the Bluetooth name solves the problem of now knowing which device you’re connecting to over Bluetooth. If you have multiple phones or tablets with the same name, or you’re never sure if you’re selecting the correct device, renaming the Bluetooth connection can help.

Most phones let you use one name for Bluetooth and another for the device itself. When you plug your phone into a computer, for example, it’s the device name that’s visible. But using Bluetooth to pair your Android and computer (or car, etc.) will display your phone’s Bluetooth name. Some Android phones have you choose Pair new device before showing the Device name option. Depending on your device, there might be a three-dot menu at the top right. Select it to find Rename this device. Some devices, like Samsung Galaxy phones, don’t include the option to change the Bluetooth name. Since they use the Bluetooth device name, you can change that name to rename the Bluetooth connection. Changing the device name doesn’t require as many steps, but it does differ between devices. Whether you have a Samsung Galaxy phone or one from another manufacturer, these are the various menu buttons that lead to the device name settings: Settings > About phone (or About Tablet or About Device) > Device name (or Edit).
