renaming

Giving different title

Renaming is giving something a new name.

Cities, streets, and buildings get renamed to honor different people or shed associations with the old name: The renaming of Confederate monuments sparked debate.

Companies undergo renaming after mergers or rebranding.

In computing, renaming a file changes its label without altering its contents.
