Renaming External Drives

Is there any way that I can rename my external drives from my iPad Pro 5th gen? Anytime I plug it in, it says “NO NAME,” and I would like to change it but cannot find how to do it from my iPad.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Usually the method includes clicking on the name, to

allow access, then keyboard type into that section.

.Or you may have to perform a 'self-diagnostic' on it.

(External hard drives often require an external power source when used with an iPad.)

.My iPad is too old for me to see what I could do there.
