We might not be able to deploy the profiles to rename the existing one as there is no API name such as Object for the Profile and if you try to rename the name then it will create the new profile in the destination org. Idea for the above:https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000kq0uAAA

Keep in mind that Salesforce Customer Support can't change usernames or deactivate users from an org. If you get a Duplicate Username error, check if the username is already in use in your production, trial, or Sandbox orgs.
