can I edit the name of several categories at once?

Question

Can I rename several categories at once, or do I have to edit them one at a time?

If you meant "can I change the category on multiple transactions at once," then there's a way to do that, too. Select each transaction by Command-clicking them; then do File > Get Info (or Command-I) to open the Transaction Info window. If you enter a Category here and press OK, the Category will be changed on all the selected transactions. (Unfortunately,y this doesn't work on splits, so you have to edit them manually.)

just guessing - but one at a time - 
don't really see a side-by-side table existing for ... Old --> New 
Don't know your example - but if you have "common name" category, and now need 2 of them - you could create a Main Category and then have multiple subs.... still have to manually edit, move, create things... but just chainging the mental logic 
ie - cars - people - houses - etc
