Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'title' = name/heading and 'bar' = a strip (in UI contexts), so 'title bar' straightforwardly denotes the strip showing the title at the top of a window. This noun–noun compound follows regular English compounding and has close parallels in other languages (e.g., Spanish 'barra de título'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The name title bar comes from the simple picture of a long bar across the top of a computer window that shows the document's title or 'name'. That's why it means the top strip that shows the 'name' of the file and is where you can click to 'move the window'.
