False  _ )  [ [source]  ](https://github.com/pandas-
dev/pandas/blob/v2.2.2/pandas/core/indexes/base.py#L1809-L1912) #

    

Set Index or MultiIndex name.

Able to set new names partially and by level.

Parameters  :

    

**names** label or list of label or dict-like for MultiIndex

    

Name(s) to set.

Changed in version 1.3.0.

**level** int, label or list of int or label, optional

    

If the index is a MultiIndex and names is not dict-like, level(s) to set (None
for all levels). Otherwise level must be None.

Changed in version 1.3.0.

**inplace** bool, default False

    

Modifies the object directly, instead of creating a new Index or MultiIndex.

Returns  :

    

Index or None

    

The same type as the caller or None if ` inplace=True  ` .

Examples

    
    
    >>> idx = pd.Index([1, 2, 3, 4])
    >>> idx
    Index([1, 2, 3, 4], dtype='int64')
