Is it possible to Rename a work Item type in Azure DevOps?

Is it possible and if so how do I rename a work item type in Azure DevOps (VSTS)?
Essentially I just want to change the name "Bug" to "Defect".

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

For an On-premises XML process, one can use Microsoft's tool witadmin.exe and the command renamewitd

It is installed with Visual Studio. The path depends on your version and edition:

Microsoft Visual Studio\{Version}\{Edition}\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\witadmin.exe

You can't change the name of "Bug" to another name because it's system work item type.

If you want to use "Defect" instead of "Bug" you can create a custom process template:

Add new work item type with name "Defect" (define all the fields like in Bug):

Disable the "Bug":
