Change Hotspot Wi-Fi Name On iPhone 11
If you go to the Personal Hotspot settings on your iPhone, you’ll only find that there’s an option to change the password, and not the name.

In the About section, you’ll see various details about your iPhone. Look for the field labeled Name at the top and tap on it.
