My site has these two meta tags which currently have the same value:
<meta name="title" content="My Title" />
<meta property="og:title" name="title" content="My Title" />
The second one is a format required for facebook connectivity.
Does this mean the first one is redundant and can be removed?

The title tag is an HTML element that summarizes the main idea of a web page and is displayed in the SERPs as well as in browser tabs. It is often referred to as the meta title, title tag, or SEO title.
og:title is one of the open graph meta tags. og:... properties define objects in a social graph. They are used for example by Facebook. og:title stands for the title of your object as it should appear within the graph (see here for more http://ogp.me/ )
og:title. The og: title is how you define your content's title. It serves a similar purpose as the traditional meta title tag in your code. In fact, if Facebook doesn't find the og:title tag on your page, it uses the open graph tag title instead. As Facebook explains, most content is shared as a URL.
description may (you have no certainty) be (partially) used by search-engines, while og:description may be used by social media networks like facebook. edit: using both (with useful content) won't hurt.
It's best to have both tags present. The tag tells Search engines about your page for indexing and also shows up as the title in SERPs. The og:title tag helps Facebook index content so your page can feature in-Facebook search results and also for defined content when that particular URL on your website is shared. Also helps to add the og:image attribute which is the preview image on standard Facebook posts/shares.
Also, there is no
<meta name="title".
It's
<title> ......... </title>
