Device Names

How do I rename a device? It is a MacMini and when my data were migrated from the MacBook Pro that was destroyed by a bad battery the new MacMini took on the name MacBookPro. I find this confusing. I have followed the Help instructions and cannot find my way to a solution. I do not see a Rename Device option, by any name.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15
