[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin A title of a work that's only one word long]]. Not much more to say.

If the title is a noun, it is possibly also other tropes. Titles that refer to characters either by name or by job (e.g. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose "Rose"]], which refers to the character Rose Tyler; or ''Manga/{{Bartender}}'', which is about the bartender protagonist), they go under CharacterTitle or JobTitle, as well.

If the name is the location the work is set in, that's ThePlace.

Words composed of two or more words that are not usually written as one also count as examples of {{Portmantitle}}.

Subtitles do not disqualify a title from this trope.

When adding examples, please give whatever context you can, even if it's as simple as "It's called ''Series/{{Wings}}'' because all of the main characters are associated with a flying service." Or "It's called ''Series/{{Friends}}'' because it's about a group of friends." If WordOfGod or WordOfSaintPaul exists for why the title was chosen, give that. Sometimes, such a short title is picked because it's memorable.

VerbedTitle and MononymousBiopicTitle are subtropes. Compare to OneLetterTitle and ShortTitles. Contrast to TheFantasticTropeOfWonderousTitles.
