When I move the legend of a Seaborn plot from its default position to the top of the plot, I want to have the variable (hue) name in the same row as the possible variable values. Starting from this plot: import seaborn as sns penguins = sns.load_dataset("penguins") ax = sns.relplot(penguins, x="bill_length_mm",y="flipper_length_mm" , hue="species")   I want to move the legend on top of the plot(e.g. like this): ax = sns.relplot(penguins, x="bill_length_mm",y="flipper_length_mm" , hue="species") sns.move_legend(ax, "lower center", bbox_to_anchor=(.5, 1), ncol=4)   But I want the variable name (species in the example) to be left of its values instead of on top of them. When also setting the style argument, this works fine(ignoring that the legend is to wide in this example): ax = sns.relplot(penguins, x="bill_length_mm",y="flipper_length_mm" , hue="species", style="sex") sns.move_legend(ax, "lower center", bbox_to_anchor=(.5, 1), ncol=7)  
You could retrieve the legend, get its bbox and move the title down/left. Here I used half of the width of the bbox to the left and a fixed extra left and down: import seaborn as sns penguins = sns.load_dataset('penguins') g = sns.relplot(penguins, x='bill_length_mm', y='flipper_length_mm', hue='species') sns.move_legend(g, 'lower center', bbox_to_anchor=(0.5, 1), ncol=7) bbox = g.legend.get_window_extent() g.legend.get_title().set_position((-bbox.width/2-20, -20))  You might have to tweak a bit the fixed values (here 20/20), it's otherwise relatively stable to changes of the figure size. Here with 6x3 inches as an example:
