layout: post title: Rename bluetooth device in Ubuntu date: 2022-10-18 categories: linux

Use bt-device (part of the bluez-tools package).

sudo apt install bt-device

Get a list of paired devices:

bt-device -l

To set the new alias:

bt-device --set macaddress|name Alias "New Name"

ie:

bt-device --set S530 Alias "S530 Blue"
