I wouldn't go to the trouble of changing admin.php to something else.

There are other easy steps that can be taken.

Use a very strong password.
Enable 2 step verification.
Install dbtech security. (this can ban failed login attempts)
Use Apache authentication.
Install fail2ban. Failed logins to apache authentications can be automatically banned.

kainosCreate a new admin account and remove yours from admin group. Why did you post with your admin account if you want that noone knows this admin account? I do not understand your question

BattleKingI read his first post as users know his admin username and are trying to access the admin panel.

Imo there's nothing to do improve some security steps.
