    To change the name of the entity, go to customizations and change the entity name.

    It's tricky to change the views because the names are static and the only way to replace them is to Save as and change the views to Companies

    Unfortunately, there is no way to bulk update the views names.

    If you go to Settings > Customisations > Customise the System

    than select "entities" on the menu tree . expand the entity you wish to change the name and click on views.

    You will need to update one by one.
