How to name a Pandas Series

This will do the job:

adjClose = symbolData.ix[:,10].rename("AlgoClose")
adjClose =pd.DataFrame(adjClose)

after you define your series with ix, you can set its name with:

adjClose.name = 'adjClose'

or, you could keep the original column-name when you define the series, like this:

adjClose = symbolData['Adj. Close']

this 'named series' won't display quite how you asked for though, it will display like:

Date
1980-12-12      0.424421
Name: adjclose, dtype: float64

if it's more important to display as you want, rather than to keep it a series, than convert it to a one-column DataFrame like in Miriam's answer.
