rename is provided by the util-linux package which can be found under the following categories in the Cygwin installer.
- System
- Text
- Utils
If you would like to find out which package provides a particular executable, you can use the cygcheck command which comes with Cygwin by default.
$ cygcheck -p 'rename.exe'
Found 6 matches for rename.exe

@jsleuth, How to install it is in the first sentence of my answer. You have to use the cygwin installer and select theutil-linuxpackage. The original question provides example usage and does not ask how to use it once it is installed. One would have to assume the OP already knows how to use the command.

Cygwin’s rename command renames files if you tell it the exact name of your target file. This is the same as the mv command.

The program with regular expression functionality that you require is a Perl script, sometimes called Perl Rename, or prename. It is usually distributed with Perl and is a different program to the rename provided by util-linux.
One way to enable it on Cygwin is to download it from GitHub. This just requires that you have the Perl Cygwin package installed.
mkdir -p ~/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/subogero/rename/master/rename
mv rename ~/bin
chmod +x ~/bin/rename
PATH=~/bin:$PATH # Add this to your ~/.bashrc to make it permanent
which rename
