If you find that an incorrect name is displayed on the receiving end of emails sent from your iPhone, follow the steps below. 

The steps below are going to change the sender name on emails that you send from your iPhone. It will not update the name that is displayed when you send from other devices, such as your iPad or computer. You will need to change the settings there as well. 

Step 1: Touch the Settings icon on your Home screen.

open the settings menu

 

 

Step 2: Scroll down and touch the Mail, Contacts, Calendars option.

select mail, contacts, calendars

 

 

Step 3: Touch the name of the account that you want to edit.

touch the account to edit

 

 

Step 4: Touch the Account button at the top of the screen.

tap the account button

 

 

Step 5: Tap inside of the Name field, delete the existing name, then replace it with the name that you wish to use instead. Touch the Done button at the top-right corner of the screen when you are done.

enter the new name, then touch the done button

 

 

This will only change the name on your iPhone. You will need to edit the name in other email applications where you use this account as well.
