Change the bibliography name scrartcl class

Question

I am writing a scrartcl document using \begin{thebibliography}. The title of the bibliography is displayed automatically and it is "References". Can I change it to "Biography"?

I know that the command \bibname don't work in article class.

Thank you very much.

See How to change the name of document elements like "Figure", "Contents", "Bibliography", "Appendix", etc.?/ for the answer to most such questions. In particular see the answer by Kurt, which deals with KOMA script classes. — Torbjørn T., May 15 '16 at 21:45

The name of the bibliography in the standard article class is defined by the \refname command, not the \bibname command (which is used by report and book classes).

Thus

\renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliography}

changes "References" to "Bibliography".

With babel one should add the definition to the babel switch. – Ulrike Fischer May 15 '16 at 21:30
There are KOMA-Script commands to define or to change language dependent names like \refname. If you use \defcaptionname{english}{\refname}{Bibliography}, it will also work with babel and polyglossia if language english is active. – esdd May 16 '16 at 06:59
