Noble title

A noble title is an honorific designation given to individuals within a hierarchical system of nobility, often hereditary, that signifies their rank and status in society. These titles, such as duke, count, or baron, traditionally indicate a person's relationship to the monarchy, land ownership, and social privileges. Nobility often comes with specific responsibilities, rights, and expectations, and they may have historical significance tied to governance, military service, or land management. While modern societies might not strictly adhere to these titles, they still exist in various forms, influencing culture, history, and social structures.
