# Editing a Household Name

The household name is shared across all primary members of a household. Changing it updates the name for everyone in that household at once.

## Where to find it

Open any contact who belongs to the household and go to their **Address** section on their profile.

1. Find the address block for the household.
2. Click the **Action** button alongside the address.
3. Select **Correct this address** from the menu.
4. Update the **Household Name** field.
5. Click **Save**.

The new name will be reflected across all members of that household immediately.

## Things to know

- The household name is used in receipts when **Receipt To** is set to *Household*. If you use a **Receipt Alias**, that alias overrides the household name on receipts — but the household name itself still applies everywhere else (reports, labels, merge tags, etc.).
- Changing the household name does **not** affect individual contact names — those are edited separately on each person's profile.
- If you need to split a household or move a member to a different household, see [Editing a Household/Organisation](/v1/docs/editing-a-householdorganisation).
