Django settings cant be changed on the fly.

I think the solution for your problem is to set or update
'grappelli_admin_title' context variable from the middleware or from a
custom context processor.
Looking at Grappellis code it seems this is the relevant code for your
problem:
grappelli/templates/admin/base.html
<h1 id="grp-admin-title">{% if grappelli_admin_title %}{{
grappelli_admin_title }}{% else %}{% get_admin_title %}{% endif %}</h1>
Using context processors is the best practice for this kind of problems.
For example:
def admin_title(request):
"""
Adds media-related context variables to the context.
"""
user_company_name = request.user.company_name
return {'grappelli_admin_title': user_company_name, }
