After you change the name of the device.
Unpair the device and re-pair it.
How do I permanently change the name of a Bluetooth device across all devices?

You can’t. The BT name is baked into the devices firmware and will always show up as that on newly paired devices.
The best you can do is rename it on devices that allow it like Android or iOS.

It needs to be doable through the device’s settings. Eg. An android phone has the option to rename how it appears to other devices, while a speaker can’t do that
