JavaScript is software... However, it's not compiled so it's basically just text, not an executable.

Without seeing some sample files it's impossible to say for sure whether this will be possible using a script, though.

Also, it can't actually rename the file, just save a copy of it under the new name.

saving a copy with a new name is fine. They are all like bank statement for example - the name of the account holder will be on the first page of every pdf.
