To change the name of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, follow these steps: On your iOS device, go to:


Settings > General > About


Tap the first line, which shows the name of your device. Rename your device, then tap Done.


Change the name of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support

(Note, the title of this document is misleading since the first half tells you how to do it on a device itself without a computer.)
