If you mean change the name as it appears on the menu, go to module admin. You can change the name on the left side, under the module icon.

In this case you need clone the module. Read this FAQ.

Here a nice workaround for those who already worked with a module and then noticed that the name of the module inside the url is "ugly":

a) Make a copy of the "ugly" module to your harddisk and rename the module to a "nice" module
b) Edit the xoops_version.php of the "ugly" module AND the "nice" module and comment out the parts for the DATABASE (entries for the sql-file and the database-tables)
c) Deactivate and deinstall the "ugly" module
d) Remove the "ugly" module from the server
e) Search the "nice" module for paths that point to the "ugly" module and change the paths
f) Upload the "nice" module to the server and install it

Voila! Done!! Because the database was never touched the database content is still there, but perhaps make a step g) to be sure:

g) Search your database for the "ugly" path name and replace it with the "nice" path name.

But before you are doing this: ALWAYS make a backup of your database.

Good luck!!!
