Layout legend item name change without layer name change

[keertimaan]

Hi all,

I am working on a map in ArcMap 10.3. I wish I could change the name of the legend item displayed in the layout without changing the layer name in the contents pane. Is there any way of doing it?

Convert Legend to Graphics. Then Ungroup. This will enable you to edit the individual legend elements. Once done editing, select all legend elements, and group again.
