To rename something is to give it a new name after it already had one. You rename a file on a computer, a street after a famous person, or a product when a company wants a fresh start. The old name is put aside; the new one is what people are supposed to use from then on. It is a normal, everyday verb — not fancy. You can rename a person too, though we more often say “change their name.” There is also a noun, mostly in computer talk: a rename, meaning the act of giving the new name.
重新命名；改名
組成From re- (“again”) + name.
