What is the significance of Pharaoh's changing Joseph's name:

From Biblehub:

Matthew Henry Commentary

41:33-45 Joseph gave good advice to Pharaoh. Fair warning should always be followed by good counsel. God has in his word told us of a day of trial before us, when we shall need all the grace we can have.

Now, therefore, provide accordingly. Pharaoh gave Joseph an honourable testimony.

49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76652009
