# Rename an item

You can use the `Sitecore.Data.Items.Item.Name` property to rename an item. For example, to rename the /*Sitecore/Content/Home/Sample* item in the *Master* database to */Sitecore/Content/Home/Changed*:

```

Sitecore.Data.Database master = Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabase("master");

Sitecore.Data.Items.Item sample = master.GetItem("/sitecore/content/home/sample");

sample.Editing.BeginEdit();

sample.Name = "Changed";

sample.Editing.EndEdit();

```
