Tenant Name vs Tenant’s unique name:
Tenant Name (a.k.a. Directory Name)
This is the display name you assign to your Azure/Entra tenant.
You can set or change this to something human-readable like "Marketing" or "MyCompany Directory".
It’s shown in places like the Azure portal and Microsoft Entra admin center.
e.g. Tenant Name: Bluewave Innovations
Tenant’s Unique Name (bluewave123)
This is the automatically generated subdomain prefix used for your default .onmicrosoft.com domain.
It’s globally unique and tied to your tenant forever.
It’s often used behind the scenes (e.g., when no custom domain is set, during app registrations, etc.)
You can’t change this once the tenant is created.
In your case: bluewave123.onmicrosoft.com
| Term | Example | Editable? | Purpose/Use |
