Main Difference
The main difference between Title and Tittle is that the Title is a prefix or suffix added to someone’s name in certain contexts and Tittle is a diacritical mark.
-
Title
A title is one or more words used before or after a person’s name, in certain contexts. It may signify either veneration, an official position, or a professional or academic qualification. In some languages, titles may be inserted between the first and last name (for example, Graf in German, Cardinal in Catholic usage (Richard Cardinal Cushing) or clerical titles such as Archbishop). Some titles are hereditary.

Tittle
A tittle or superscript dot is a small distinguishing mark, such as a diacritic or the dot on a lowercase i or j. The tittle is an integral part of the glyph of i and j, but diacritic dots can appear over other letters in various languages. In most languages, the tittle of i or j is omitted when a diacritic is placed in the tittle’s usual position (as í or ĵ), but not when the diacritic appears elsewhere (as į, ɉ).
