How can I change the theme name in WordPress and where?
Can I also change the folder name theme1244 in public/wp-content/themes/theme1244 without having problems in the future?

To do that, go to Appearance » Themes from the left sidebar of the WordPress admin panel. On this page, you need to hover the mouse cursor over the theme you want to use and then click on the Activate button to change the WordPress theme. Now you can visit the homepage of your website to see the new theme in action.
Step 1: Firstly go to wp-content/themes/ folder. And then rename your theme folder to whatever you want.
Step 2: Open your theme folder and open style.css file. In top part of style.css you will see theme name. Rename it and save changes.
Step 3: Go to Wp-admin/appearance/themes and activate your theme under new name.
If you are using child/parent theme and you also rename parent theme folder&name, so after Step 3 you should additionally change parent theme path (template field) in child theme’s style.css.
note : renaming your theme will stop its automatic updates, you should do it manually in the future.
