Well... It's not quite possible to do so directly but we've come up with a workaround.

Why can't you just change context name?

Will it be ever possible?

Workaround:

Assumptions:

Just play with JQL restrictions within contexts.
Our proposition is to add e.g. "created <= '19.07.2019'" to JQL restriction for context you would like to rename (same for remote one). Then create new context with JQL e.g. "created > '19.07.2019'" and link it with also newly created such in remote Jira. 

Pros:

Cons:

*If your case is different than above assumptions just create new context and link it with remote on (it can be be one or old one).
