Kylo Ren was not given the title of Darth because he was not a Sith, but rather a member of the Knights of Ren. The title 'Darth' is reserved for Sith Lords who follow the teachings of the Sith Order, under which figures like Darth Vader and Darth Sidious fall. Kylo, under the guidance of Supreme Leader Snoke and later his own, pursued the dark side of the Force in a different manner, aligning with the Knights of Ren rather than the traditional Sith path.
