Yes! You can change your YouTube channel name without changing your Google account name. Here’s how it works:
1. For Personal YouTube Channels (Linked to Google Account)
-
Your YouTube channel name is initially set to your Google account name, but you can customize it separately.
-
Steps to change only your YouTube name:
-
Go to YouTube Studio.
-
Click Customization (left menu) → Basic info.
-
Edit your Channel name and Description.
-
Click Publish to save changes.
-
✅ Result:
-
Your YouTube channel name updates.
-
Your Google/Gmail account name stays the same.
2. For Brand Accounts (Separate from Google Name)
-
If your channel is under a Brand Account, the name change affects only YouTube, not your personal Google account.
-
How to check if you have a Brand Account:
-
Go to YouTube Settings.
-
Under Account Information, see if it says “You’re managed by a Brand Account.”
-
✅ Brand Account Benefits:
-
Multiple managers can access the channel.
-
Name changes don’t affect your personal Google profile.
Important Notes:
-
Display Name vs. Handle:
-
Changing your channel name (display name) is different from your @handle (custom URL).
-
Handles can be changed once every 14 days (in YouTube Studio > Customization).
-
-
Google Services Impact:
-
If you use the same Google account for other services (Gmail, Drive), those names won’t change unless you update them separately.

হ্যা, আপনি আপনার গুগল নাম পরিবর্তন না করে ইউটিউব এর নাম পরিবর্তন করতে পারবেন। এর জন্য আপনার একটি ইউটিউব চ্যানেল থাকতে হবে।
