<title> — the SVG accessible name element

The ~~<title>~~ element provides an accessible, short-text description of any SVG container element or graphics element.

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~~ 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.
