how to rename an external drive

I want to rename an external drive. I go into Disk Utility, right click the drive name, and for the DATA section of the drive, "rename" works. For the other section "rename" is dimmed.


How do I rename an external drive?


No, it won't let me rename it on the drive icon. That's the name I want to change.

iMac, OS X 10.11
