Try using an alias, that is one way you would be able to rename the version. This will help you change the version, but the actual name will remain the same after creation. You may simply create a a new function and copy the existing code, if you need a name change. This won’t cost extra.

Refer this if you wish to understand more: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/versioning-aliases.html

The closest you can get to renaming the lambda function is using an alias, which is a way to name a specific version of a lambda. The actual name of the function though, is set once you create it. If you want to rename it, just create a new function and copy the exact same code into it. It won't cost you any extra to do this (since you are only charged for execution time) so you lose nothing.

For a reference on how to name versions of the lambda function check out the documentation here. Or For a detailed, You can even check out the details of Migrating to AWS with the AWS Cloud Migration Training.

You can't rename the function as the name becomes part of the endpoint. You can change the description by going into your function and hitting 'Configuration'. Regardless, I don't think it matters what your function is called as the customer will not see any of this. As long as you change whatever is needed in the developer portal which is ucstomer facing, you should be good.
