django using a variable in any templates

Question

for example: in the templates you will use your site name a lot of times. in the future if you want to change your website name you must edit all templates files you wrote your site name in them is there a way to define a variable and use that variable in all templates without using context in views

I tried to define and use settings.py properties with this code but doesn't work

{{SITE_NAME}}
