Is it possible to rename an app?

You can not rename the apps themselves, so their names will remain unchanged when you're opening them, or when searching for them in Settings -> Apps. But, if you're OK with that, read on. To change the name of an app shortcut you'll need a custom Android launcher.

Actually you can. You can change the "Bundle Name" which (I think) is the name the App appears on the AppStore and the "Bundle Display Name" which is the name that appears under your icon on the Home screen. But if you change your "Bundle Identifier" then your App is not the same App. More info can be found in the Apple Docs here.
