Why is it a new moon when the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth?
Because when everything is arranged that way and you look up at the moon, you're looking at the side of the moon which is completely away from the sun, so it's completely dark and you can't see any of the moon at all. That comes at the end of two weeks that the moon has spent shrinking and disappearing. It's several hours before you can begin to see the first skinny sliver of the lighted side of the moon, almost as if it's the appearance of a whole new one.

What does the tilte of new moon mean?
You didn't proofread your question, so nobody can be sure of exactly what you're asking. You want to know about either the "tilt" of the new moon, or else the "title". I'm going to assume you mean the title: "New Moon". As you've probably noticed, the shape of the moon that you see in the sky goes through a whole cycle of "phases" in the course of a month. Beginning with a very skinny slice on the right side, it grows and grows for two weeks until the whole circular moon is visible. After that, it begins to disappear, a little at a time, night after night, and after another two weeks, all that's left is a skinny slice again, but this time it's on the left side. Then the whole thing repeats, every 29 days. You could start describing this process at any point. I started with the skinny slice on the right side. All cultures in history who have noticed the moon, or worshipped it, start with the skinny slice on the right side. That's always considered to be the beginning of the cycle, and it's called the "New Moon". Technically, as far as astronomers are concerned, the New Moon is actually a day or two BEFORE you see the skinny slice on the right, but at that point you can't see the moon at all. So, to the Jewish and Muslim religions, and to the Chinese, the New Moon is the first skinny slice you see AFTER the moon hasn't been visible at all for a few days. spoiler for new moon> ---- I think what he or she is asking, why is one of the Twilight books called new moon.
