Not to mention "apropos rename" - a Unix command that goes back pretty much 
to the dawn of time, and can often find you the right tool when you don't 
know what it's called.

$ apropos rename
dpkg-name (1)        - rename Debian packages to full package names
lvrename (8)         - rename a logical volume
mv (1)               - move (rename) files
prename (1)          - renames multiple files
rename (1)           - renames multiple files
rename.ul (1)        - Rename files
vgrename (8)         - rename a volume group
