Your Facebook username is the name that appears in the URL of your Facebook profile. It helps others find you easily on Facebook. It also helps create a unique and direct link to your Facebook profile. This is different from changing a Facebook name.
If you manage Facebook pages meant for business, non-profits or any other purposes, your username helps people find your page easily.
