give someone or something a new name
To give a new name to a person, place, group, or thing.
Модель уживання:
to rename [someone/something] [new name]
Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes confuse "rename" with "call" or "name." "Name" is used when giving a name for the first time (e.g., "They named the baby Anna"), while "rename" is used when changing an existing name (e.g., "They renamed the baby Anna"). Another common mistake is adding unnecessary prepositions, such as *"rename to"* or *"rename as"* in patterns where English usually uses a direct object and complement: say "They renamed the street Green Avenue," not "They renamed the street to Green Avenue" in most general contexts (though "rename [something] to [new name]" is common in technical contexts).

change the name of a file or digital item
To change the name of a file, folder, or other thing inside a computer program or system.
Модель уживання:
to rename [file/folder/field] to [new name]
Поширена помилка:
Learners may not realize this is the same basic verb used in everyday language, just in a technical context. Another mistake is mixing up interface language, for example saying *"change the name of the file button"* instead of simply *"click Rename" or "rename the file." In coding contexts, learners may incorrectly write comments like *"newname file"* instead of using the verb form "rename the file."
Синоніми
retitle (Can be used for documents or files, but is less common in technical instructions than "rename.")
|
relabel (Sometimes used in data or interface contexts, but may suggest only a visible label change rather than the underlying name.)
