If you didn't snapshot that volume before deleting it, you're SOL.
If you snapshotted it, rename that snapshot to the other name, and
you're done.
Btrfs doesn't offer undelete, it only lets you keep multiple copies of
your data at very little cost, so you can retrieve a snapshot copy if
you deleted your current volume's data.
