Esquire Meaning & Origin

About Esquire
The name "Esquire" is a title of respect and courtesy used in the United Kingdom and some other English-speaking countries. It is typically used after a person's name, especially for men, to indicate that they are of a higher social rank or have a professional qualification, such as being a lawyer. The term originated from the medieval practice of addressing a young nobleman who was not yet a knight, and over time, it has evolved to be used more broadly to denote a person of distinction or professional standing.
