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, {{lang|de|[[Graf]]}} in [[German language|German]] or clerical titles such as [[Cardinal (Catholicism)|Cardinal]] in [[Catholic church|Catholic]] usage – [[Richard Cushing#Legacy|Richard Cardinal Cushing]]). Some titles are [[hereditary title|hereditary]].
