This depends on what terminal you use. Some look for escape sequences that change the title. For example, see here

Your ~/.bashrc can tell if it's a ssh connection by looking at environment variables:
walt@bat:~(0)$ env | grep SSH
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring/ssh
walt@bat:~(0)$ ssh $USER@localhost
walt@localhost's password:

SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/5
SSH_CONNECTION=127.0.0.1 49228 127.0.0.1 22
walt@bat:~(0)$ logout
Connection to localhost closed.

Then, you can use xttitle to set the window title (sudo apt install xttitle).
Something like
if [[ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]] && [[ -n "$DISPLAY" ]] ; then
xttitle "SSH Connection $USER@$(hostname)"
