profile name

Account display label

A profile name is the display name associated with an account on a website, app, or online service—what other users see when you post, comment, or interact.

Unlike a username (often used for login), a profile name can typically include spaces and be changed freely: Her profile name was "Adventure Mom" but her username was adventuremom_2019.

On some platforms, it's your real name; on others, a chosen alias.
