# Change your name
|
|
|
|
By default, everyone can change their name in Zulip. You can write your name
|
|
in any language you'd like.
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can [change anyone's name](/help/change-a-users-name), and
|
|
[prevent users from changing their names](/help/restrict-name-and-email-changes). This
|
|
is useful when users' names are managed via LDAP or another data source.
|
|
|
|
### Change your name
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|your-account}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **User settings**, click on the button with your name in it.
|
|
|
|
1. Change your name, and click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
{end_tabs}
|
|
|
|
!!! warn ""
|
|
**Note:** If you are unable to click on the button with your name, check
|
|
that your organization allows name changes. Follow the steps at
|
|
[prevent users from changing their names](/help/restrict-name-and-email-changes)
|
|
to view your organization's settings.
|

|
## Reserved words
|
|
|
|
The words "all", "everyone", and "stream" have special meanings, and if you choose them as your
|
|
display name, nobody will be able to [mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) you.
