You need to run cmd in elevated mode (i.e. Run As Administrator)
Change the name if the adapter name is not Wi-Fi, e.g. Wireless Network Connection, etc.

Use this as example how to rename interface

>>> subprocess.call(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'name="TPALAN"', 'newname="TPALAN2"'])

Perfect Thanks Buran.
One more questions: I am trying to get input function to get Interface name from User, but it doesn't accept input value. can you please help?

import subprocess
import os

changeName=input("Enter the Interface name:")
print(changeName)
subprocess.call(['netsh', 'interface', 'set', 'interface', 'name="Wi-Fi"', 'newname=changeName'])
os.system("netsh interface show interface")

Output:
Enter the Interface name:Wi-Fi123
