  • How do I add or edit a language-specific name?

Language-specific names are only available in a few languages. Learn how to add or edit another name (example: nickname, maiden name) to your profile.

A language-specific name is your Facebook name translated into another language. If someone uses Facebook in the same language as your language-specific name, they’ll see your language-specific name in your profile, search results, posts, comments and photo tags. You’ll also see your language-specific name if you use Facebook in that language.

Languages that support language-specific names

You can use language-specific names in these languages:

  • Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Russian
  • Ukranian
  • Serbian
  • Belarusian
  • Greek
  • Arabic
  • Hebrew
  • Thai

Examples of language-specific names

Here are some examples of language-specific names:

Examples of language-specific names
To add or edit a language-specific name:

  1. Click  at the top-right corner and select Settings.
  2. Click Name.
  3. Click add or change your language-specific name.
  4. Enter your name as it appears in another language.
  5. Enter your Password and click Save Changes.

To delete your language-specific name:

  1. Complete steps 1–3 above.
  2. Delete your language-specific name.
  3. Enter your Password and click Save Changes.

If you’re having trouble adding your language-specific name, it might be because the name you requested doesn’t follow Facebook name standards. Keep in mind that the language-specific name should be the name you go by in everyday life. Your language-specific name should also look the same on Facebook as it does on things like a magazine subscription, ID or membership card.

If you’ve read facebook name policies and think that your name was rejected by mistake, inform Facebook.
