Greetings @MakgomoMokoena ,
Welcome and thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
Are you referring to the name inside of your Canvas account? If so, it allowed by your institution, you can edit your name. If you use a free for teacher account, you are able to change your name. However, if you have a school that pays for canvas, they have the ability to restrict you from changing your name.
I will provide a link to a guide below that will provide you with more information! I hope this helps. Updating my displayed name in Canvas - Instructure Community - 853
Best,
Noah
