Can name of Apple Device ID be changed?

I set up my new iPad Pro from my iPhone 14. This has resulted in my iPad Pro being given an Apple device ID Of Peter's IPhone(2) and underneath, in small characters, iPad Pro as per attached screenshot. On my previous Android devices I could always change the device name to what I wanted. However, I can't seem to find an edit function for this purpose on Apple devices. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful. TIA

iPad Pro, 11-inch, 4th Gen, Wi-Fi
