I just figured out a way on how to do this. The key is to get the id of the menu name from the database and return it as a row and in the custom helper, just call the id of the menu name from the database. Here is how I did it:

Here is my model:

        function get_page_menu_names($menu_id)
       {
           $this->db->select('menu_name');

           $this->db->from('menu_master');

           $this->db->where('menu_id', $menu_id);

           $query = $this->db->get();

           $menu_name_row = $query->row();

           if(isset($menu_name_row))
           {
             return $menu_name_row->menu_name;
           }            
       }

And here is how I called it from the helper that I wrote out:

$page_header_array['inventory_master_listing'] = array(

            "breadcrumbs" =>  array(
                array('title'=>'Home','url'=>base_url()),
                array('title'=> $this->my_model_name->get_page_menu_names(1),'is_active'=>TRUE),
            ),
            "page_title"  =>  $this->my_model_name->get_page_menu_names(1),
            "page_header_title" =>  $this->my_model_name->get_page_menu_names(1).' : '.$project_title

        );
