Final thoughts
Although they are used interchangeably, the display name and the username on Twitter do not refer to the same thing.
Your name on Twitter is a personal identifier that helps others identify you, especially if you use a username that is not your real or business name. This can have a maximum of 50 characters.
Your username is unique to you and is displayed in your profile URL. Used for logging in, sending replies, and in direct messages. It can be up to 15 characters long.
Changing your username or Twitter name will not affect your current followers, messages, or responses. Neither will the others receive notification of the change. They will just see a new name or username when you make a reply or post.
