The "List API Name" can be specified only at the time of creation via UI which is why you are seeing it greyed out.

As the error suggests, the reason behind it is that someone might have created a ListView with the same API name.

You can extract it with the Metadata API, update it and redeploy it. You might have to hunt down and delete the private list views manually as there isn't an API-driven way to do it (only supports Public listviews).

See post and related Idea

Another way would be to use Save As after adding the filter which will have a unique API name. enter image description here
