The easiest way to edit the name of an existing contact would be to
1. Go to the chat of the contact whose name you want to edit.

Alternatively, you can also change the names from Organization settings to. This is more helpful if you wish to edit the name of a contact whose chat is not easily accessible and list view would help more. To do this:
1. Go to the menu on the top right and click on organization settings.

2. Click on Contacts on the left. Here you can look for a contact based on name, date added or tags.
