Definition
A title is the name of a book, movie, song, article, or other work. It can also mean an official rank or form of address, such as "Doctor" or "King".
Usage & Nuances
Most commonly, 'title' means the name of a creative work: 'the title of the book'. It is also used for job or social rank: 'job title', 'royal title'. In sports, 'win the title' means become champion. Don't confuse it with 'name'—'title' is more specific and often more formal.
