Yes, however it can be tricky depending on which terminal emulator your using (and if it follows the standards) along with which shell your using.

You could set it directly from the prompt being set, in bash:

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;SOME TITLE HERE\007"' in your bash.rc will do the job.

You can have variables in this, so it'll be updated each time the prompt is returned.

Or you can execute a script manually, using just the echo command echo -ne "\033]0;Server123\007" which would set a static title for the terminal until you overwrite it again.
