Is there a way of getting the current page's title on a SharePoint Page

Question

I am using SharePoint 2013 on-prem. I am attempting to use the Title attribute (column) from Site Pages (list) as the pageTitle for the corresponding page. I know that I could hard-code going through the Site Pages list for the title, but I would like to use some property on the page or a direct call to get the page's title and replace the pageTitle tag.

That actually provides the site and the name, not the title field of the page. So on my site page called Project on my Development site with a title of Project Summary I would get Development - Project — Steve Harvancik

I understand you want to display the Site Pages Title column in the corresponding page, then you can use Rest API to get it and display in the page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
        $.ajax({
                   url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Site Pages')/items?$filter=Id eq '"+_spPageContextInfo.pageItemId+"' ",
                   method: "GET",
                   headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
                   success: function (data) {
                            $("#PageTitle").html(data.d.results[0].Title);

                  },
                  error: function (data) {
                      alert("Error: "+ data);
                 }
          });
</script>
<div id="PageTitle"></div>

This is the return Json format for the page item:
