title: <title> — the SVG accessible name element
slug: Web/SVG/Element/title
page-type: svg-element
browser-compat: svg.elements.title

{{SVGRef}}
The **`<title>`** element provides an accessible, short-text description of any SVG [container element](/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element#container_elements) or [graphics element](/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element#graphics_elements).
Text in a `<title>` element is not rendered as part of the graphic, but browsers usually display it as a tooltip. If an element can be described by visible text, it is recommended to reference that text with an [`aria-labelledby`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-labelledby) attribute rather than using the `<title>` element.
> **Note:** For backward compatibility with SVG 1.1, `<title>` elements should be the first child element of their parent.
## Example
```css hidden
html,
body,
svg {
height: 100%;
}
```
```html
<svg viewBox="0 0 20 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4">
<title>I'm a circle</title>
</circle>
<rect x="11" y="1" width="8" height="8">
<title>I'm a square</title>
</rect>
</svg>
```
