Shakespeare did not title his sonnets.
Shakespeare dedicated the last group of his sonnets, often referred to as the "Dark Lady" sonnets, to a mysterious woman known as the "Dark Lady." This sequence, sonnets 127 to 154, explores themes of love, beauty, and desire, often portraying a more complex and darker relationship compared to his earlier works. The identity of the Dark Lady remains a subject of speculation among scholars, as she is not definitively named in the sonnets themselves.

The Earl of Southampton or Henry Wriothesley
He dedicated them to someone whose initials were W.H.
Shakespeare dedicated his two long poems to Henry Wriothesley. The sonnets are dedicated to Mr. W.H. who may or may not be the same person.
The patrons of Shakespeare's acting company were Henry Carey, The Lord Chamberlain (1594-1603) and King James I (from 1603). His poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were dedicated to Henry Wriothesley, who is believed to be his patron. The Sonnets were dedicated to "Mr. W.H.", whoever that was (possibly also Wriothesley with his initials reversed.)
There are over 150 sonnets. Some are about love. Some are about loss. Some are dedicated to the Dark Lady. Others are about the joy of everyday occurrence's.

William Shakespeare is known for basing his sonnets on the love of his future wife in the collection of sonnets dedicated to a young man and a mysterious dark lady. These sonnets explore themes of love, beauty, and the passage of time.
The volume Shakespeare's Sonnets [1609] contains 154 sonnets, so the usual answer to this question is 154. There are a few 'sonnets' embedded in the plays (particularly in Romeo and Juliet); but people don't normally include these among Shakespeare's Sonnets (for a number of reasons).
