Rename Your Home Folder
The name of your user account and your home folder must be the same for your account to work properly, so the first step is to change the home folder name.
Rename Your Account
After you edit the home folder name, stay signed out of the account you’re renaming, and complete the following steps.
Your Mac User Account
Each macOS user account contains information related to your name and primary directory:
Full name: This is your full name (for example, Casey Cat). It can also be the name you use to sign in to your Mac. Account name: The account name is a shortened version of your full name (for example, caseycat). macOS suggests an account name based on the full name you enter, but you can use any name you want. Home directory: The home folder name and the account name are the same. By default, the home folder is in the Users directory of your startup disk, but you can relocate the home folder to anywhere you wish.
