I don't think it is a problem to change the names of this. The current
eeschema documentation does not describe the copy block and save block
operations. I tried searching for it, but no results in the
eeschema.pdf doc.

But I don't understand what the "Save block" actually does. How should
one use that? I can't make it do anything. I have always used the copy
block ot duplicate stuff.
