We can't explain what you did wrong without sight of code. As the
variable here is -percent-, you could just go

title("`: var label percent'")

but if local macro 1 contains the variable name, this should work too:

title("`: var label `1''")

Some minor tricks of the trade can be seen by looking inside -aaplot-
(SSC) and -multqplot- (SJ).
