    We have a VPS account and the host gave us a dns: example ns1.whatevername.com ns2.whatevername.com. Can we change it to something like ns1.newname.com, ns2.newname.com?

    yes, it is possible to do that provided that you VPS has DNS server software installed.

    What I mean is to change the name of DNS into something else.

    Go to WHM -> Nameservers and then remove existing nameservers.

    Now enter the nameservers which you want to create. Do not forget to create nameservers from your registrar control panels too.
