Only if you combine them in your crafting interface, which removes the enchantments and gives you a repaired but unenchanted sword.
Or use a grindstone on it, which also removes any non curse enchantments.
Back before 1.8 renaming would reset the enchantment costs but in anything later that sword is finished, when it wears out there is no way (in survival) to repair it without losing the enchantments.
Does anybody know if combining 2 diamond swords (an unenchanted and an enchanted) reset exp costs?
For example, my main sword now needs 39 EXP levels to rename it. If I combine it with an unenchanted sword will it reset to like 5-10 EXP levels?
As far as im aware, it doesnt work, but ive never tried

You can still rename it, at a cost of 39 XP.
Just testing.
