I want to change the name of the References section and no solution i found in this site works for me. e.g, no answer to this question solves my problem. Here is the document:

\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{book}
\includeonly{zebras}
\usepackage{graphicx,mathtools}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[brazil]{babel}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,graphicx,enumerate,color,amsthm}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\chapter{Introduction}
\chapter{chapter1}
\section{section1}
\bibliographystyle{abbrv}
\bibliography{bibfilename}
\end{document}

I know very little about LaTeX and i don't know what some of these packages do, but i checked the problem still occurs in this reduced version. Any ideas of what is going wrong in here?

@DavidCarlisle unfortunately this has no effect for me. – Alan Jul 26 '23 at 18:57

\addto\extrasbrazil{\renewcommand{\bibname}{...}} – Alan Munn Jul 26 '23 at 18:58

You have \usepackage[brazil]{babel} which will already have redefined \bibname to something Portuguese, you should use the babel mechanisms to redefine that localised version – David Carlisle Jul 26 '23 at 18:59
ooh @AlanMunn just got there first – David Carlisle Jul 26 '23 at 18:59
@DavidCarlisle thank you, i'll search about the babel mechanisms. – Alan Jul 26 '23 at 19:03
but unfortunately @AlanMunn solution is not working either. – Alan Jul 26 '23 at 19:03

The solution definitely works. You need to add this line after you have loaded babel. Delete your old .aux files and recompile. – Alan Munn Jul 26 '23 at 19:07
And the question you link to has exactly this answer: Renaming the bibliography page using BibTeX so I'm voting to close the question. – Alan Munn Jul 26 '23 at 19:12
@AlanMunn you're right, i was probably inserting it before loading the babel package all along. thank you so much – Alan Jul 26 '23 at 19:15
