Aria-label and aria-labelled by tend to take precedence over other parts of what ends up being an element's accessible name. The accessible name computation is described in detail in the W3C Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1 (https://www.w3.org/TR/accname-aam-1.1/). Aria-describedby would allow other strings from the element to be concatenated into the accessible name.
