redesignate
Give new title
To redesignate is to assign a new designation, classification, or name to something: The highway was redesignated Route 66.
Often used in bureaucratic or military contexts when categories shift: The position was redesignated from analyst to specialist.
The change typically involves official status rather than casual renaming.
