Maybe I have missed a setting but; the way it is today the module names are displayed directly as menu item names in the Admin interface. I think you can set the name in the PHP file for the module. However, I do not think this is sufficient. A module upgrade will overrwrite the name.
Besides, different installations may want to emphasize different things in a module. E.g the Calendar module could be called "Calendar" in one installation and "Event Manager" in another installation.
The name in the menu should be an alias for the module that can be set from the Admin panel. The best place to have this would be in the Table with all the modules. There could be a writeable column for user defined module name.
I think more intuitive menu names for modules would be a great improvement for the users.

Re: Alias for Module
If the module doesn't provide a method to change it, you can do it in the language file. Use the module_custom folder so it's persistent through upgrades. See https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/customiz ... ge-strings for more.
