Yes, you can rename the Tabs default names. Not only tabs name you can rename labels of objects, fields, and other interfaces labels that are related to users, to display the better reflection of your organization’s business requirements.
If you change the “Accounts” label to “Companies”, then the new label appears on all user pages.

To rename the tab name follow the instruction:

In classic view go to the “Setup” and select “Tab Names and Labels” link that is displaying under Build > Customize
