I have a blog which I run on Github pages.Since this is a new blog, I decided to rewrite some posts from my old blog which had good ranking and organic search results to drive back some traffic.
So my question now is where is the search term/keyword "Home" coming from in the search result on Google.There is no Home keyword in my blog post, there is only one in my home page.
Here is a screenshot below of Google search result which comes up.
What am I doing wrong here? Is there any way that I can optimize the content, even though I do not plan to earn with ads with my blog, I just wanted it to be at least cleaner with the search results.

Google is attempting to append your site name to your title. Most sites put the site name at the end of titles themselves because:
It is good for branding
It differentiates your listing in the search results and makes users more likely to click
Its better at the end of the title than at the beginning because having the site name get truncated isn't a big deal.
Since you don't add your site name to your title yourself, Google is attempting to do it for you so that your site looks more professional in their results and gets more clicks.
Unfortunately, your site appears to be named "Home". The title of your home page doesn't say your brand name, it just says "Home". You should change your home page title to "Samurai Coder".
You might also want to configure your site to append " - Samurai Coder" to the end of the title of every page. I would consider doing so good practice from an SEO standpoint.
