Why Give Google Home a Nickname?
The Google Home app lets you change the name of individual Google Home devices if you have multiples in your home and need to identify them quickly. Examples of hardware you can rename are Google Home, Google Home Mini, Google Nest Mini, Google Home Max, Google Nest Audio, Google Nest Hub, and Google Nest Hub Max.
By default, your Google Home is named XXX room Home. This generic name may not be an issue if you only have one device in your home, but you may want to change it for a more personalized experience or if you have multiple units around the house.
Fortunately, changing the nickname of your Google Home is quite straightforward. You only need to download the Google Home app and be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the device you want to edit.
