Username vs. display name
TikTok splits your identity in two. Your display name is the bold name on your profile; it does not have to be unique. Your username is your address: your profile lives at tiktok.com/@yourhandle, and you can change it only once every 30 days.
What the check can and cannot tell you
It is a best-effort check against what TikTok shows publicly, not an official availability API. A handle can be held by an inactive account that no outside check can see.
