Basic Page Information
Page Names
Page names must accurately reflect the Page. Keep in mind that only authorized representatives can manage a Page for a brand, place, organization or public figure.
Page names can't include:
  • Terms or phrases that may be abusive or violate someone's rights.
  • The word "official" if the Page isn't the official Page of a brand, place, organization or public figure.
  • Improper capitalization (example: tHe best CaFE). Page names must use grammatically correct capitalization and may not include all capital letters, except for acronyms.
  • Symbols (example: ® ) or unnecessary punctuation.
  • Descriptions or slogans (example: The Best Cafe - We serve the best coffee in town). People who manage Pages can add this information to a Page's About section.
  • Any variation of the word "Facebook." Learn more at the Brand Resource Center.
Page names can't consist only of:
  • Generic words (example: Pizza). Pages must be managed by official representatives of the topics they're about.
  • Generic geographic locations (example: New York). However, you can create a Page name for an organization that represents a geographic location. For example, "New York City – Mayor's Office" and "Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain" are acceptable Page names.

No. Pages with generic location names like "New York," "Ontario" and "Switzerland" are not allowed to have managers.
However, you can manage a Page for an organization that represents a geographic location. For example, "New York City – Mayor's Office," "Lok Sabha – Parliament of India" and "Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain" are acceptable Page names. You may also use a Page name that's different from the name of the organization as long as the name accurately reflects what the Page is about (example: "Tourism Ireland" can have a Page named "Discover Ireland").
