DataFrame.rename_axis()

Alter index and / or columns using input function or functions. A scaler or list-like for mapper will alter the Index.name or MultiIndex.names attribute. A function or dict for mapper will alter the labels. Function / dict values must be unique (1-to-1). Labels not contained in a dict / Series will be left as-is.

Examples

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3], "B": [4, 5, 6]})
>>> df.rename_axis("foo")  # scalar, alters df.index.name
     A  B
foo
0    1  4
1    2  5
2    3  6
>>> df.rename_axis(lambda x: 2 * x)  # function: alters labels
   A  B
0  1  4
2  2  5
4  3  6
>>> df.rename_axis({"A": "ehh", "C": "see"}, axis="columns")  # mapping
