    Are you referring to the site title?
    Or are you referring to the site URL starting with https://?
    Or are you referring to your username or display name?

    Change site title:
    Please use the customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ and enter your Site Title and Tagline under Site Identity. Know that the URL of the site and the site title do not have to be the same.

    Change your username https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/
    Change Display Name (Nickname) https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/#change-display-name-nickname

    You cannot edit a URL. You can choose a different .wordpress.COM URL as recycling a .wordpress.com URL is possible only if 2 or more years have expired after deletion and only in some cases. Sites already deleted by their authors two or more years ago may become available again, if they present no username or other technical conflicts. From the relevant support doc at http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

    You can transfer ownership of a .wordpress.com site to another WordPress.com account by following the step-by-step instructions https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

    You can purchase an upgraded plan to have your own custom URL.

    You can use the Personal Plan if all you want is a custom domain, removal of advertising, live chat support and 6GB Storage Space but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically. Go to http://wordpress.com/plans to upgrade.

    How domain mapping works
    Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.

    What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
