I presume mean the system name, which is in driven by /etc/sysconfig.
This drives the system commands which actually set it.

The kernel name (added to /etc/motd automatically) is controlled by your
name specified in the configuration when you regen the system.  Do regen
it, I shaved ~ 40% off the size of mine.
