A commoner, also known as the common man, commoners, the common people or the masses, was in earlier use an ordinary person in a community or nation who did not have any significant social status, especially a member of neither royalty, nobility, nor any other part of the aristocracy. Depending on culture and period, other elevated persons (such as members of clergy) may have had higher social status in their own right, or were regarded as commoners if lacking an aristocratic background.
