Wordpress give Us possibility to change text by editing translation file. In my opinion it's cleaner way

Okay I've found a solution and it's working fine :)

    function my_custom_dashboard_name(){
        if ( $GLOBALS['title'] != 'Dashboard' ){
            return;
        }

        $GLOBALS['title'] =  __( 'Your new Title' ); 
    }

    add_action( 'admin_head', 'my_custom_dashboard_name' );

So this is pretty cool huh! GLOBAL['title'] returns page title and you can easily override that.

Your best bet is to use JavaScript or jQuery via a custom plugin (or your theme's functions.php), since these things are hard-coded into the WordPress core. The following targets the Dashboard title itself:

(function($) {
    $('#wpbody-content .wrap h2:eq(0)').html('NEW TITLE HERE');
})(jQuery);
