No it is clearly stated that handle name can be changed only once.

    I can change it next year to something else. My question was whether it works to change the name back to its original next year

You can change it once per year, around the New Year period.

What if someone else takes your username by then? That automatically won't allow you to change to your older username

    They can't, unless your account has been inactive for 5 or more years, I think...

      They can't ever. Taking the names of inactive accounts only works if that user has done approximately nothing on Cideforces.
