Difference between a PhD and a Dphil

This displaced the existing Doctor of Philosophy degree in some Universities — for instance the D.Phil. (higher doctorate in the faculty of philosophy) at the University of St Andrews was discontinued and replaced with the Ph.D. (research doctorate). However some UK universities such as Oxford and Sussex retain the D.Phil. appellation for their research degrees, as do German and Scandinavian universities.

I thought that u earn the title Doctor if u get ur PHD from universities like Oxford or Cambridge. They are the same but the 'Doctor' sounds better as a title

D.Phil. and Ph.D. both mean Doctor of Philosophy. If a person holds one then he/she are entitled to be called 'Doctor'.

What's the discrepancy? Why do some universities use D.Phil and not the world known Ph.D?
