Also known as personal title
A title is one or more words used before or after a person's name, in certain contexts. It may signify their generation, official position, military rank, professional or academic qualification, or nobility. In some languages, titles may be inserted between the first and last name (for example, in German or clerical titles such as Cardinal in Catholic usage – Richard Cardinal Cushing). Some titles are hereditary.
A title is a word or phrase used with a person's name that indicates something about them, such as their job, rank, education level, or family status. Titles matter because they communicate important information about a person's position or authority in society, and in some cases they can be passed down through families.

称谓或稱呼广义上可以指名称；狭义上指人交往当中所說出對方的名稱，这种称呼通常基于輩份、血缘关系、职业特性、宗教信仰、社会地位等等因素，有时也可以指人的姓氏、名字。 称谓是为了表明人们之间的社会关系才产生，它区分了人们在社会关系中所扮演的不同角色。许多都是成对出现的，例如： * 先生——小姐——女士 * 丈夫——妻子 * 父亲——儿子 * 祖父——孙子 * 师傅——徒弟 * 教师——学生 很多民族如汉族对表达同一含义的称谓分为尊称、谦称、雅称、昵称、别称等多种形式。不同场合，对于同一人的称谓不同；不同的人对同一含义的称谓也不同，这主要根据扮演的角色不同，称谓随之发生变化。如中国皇帝一般自称为“朕”，臣民则称之为“陛下”；假如一个已婚中年女性，其职业为教师并兼校长，那么其称谓，在学校为“老师”或“校长”，在家里子女称之为“母亲”，丈夫称之为“妻子”，父母则称之为“女儿”；当然在漢字文化圈上，除了学生、子女不對其長輩、前輩直呼其名以外，其他的人可以将其“名字”作为称呼。
