Esquires

In the context of general knowledge, "esquire" is an honorary title traditionally used in England and the United States. It typically follows a person's name to indicate that they are a gentleman or have specific qualifications, especially in the legal profession. In the U.S., it is commonly associated with attorneys, often abbreviated as "Esq." It signifies respect and status but does not confer any legal privileges. The term has historical roots in the social hierarchy and is less frequently used today, although it still appears in formal contexts, particularly in law.
