Is there a way to rename “themes” directory name?

For themes you can use register_theme_directory() function to add additional directories for WP to be aware of. I don’t think I ever seen this used in practice, so not sure if there are any complications possible.

For plugins you can define WP_PLUGIN_DIR and WP_PLUGIN_URL constants in wp-config.php.
