Esquire (abbreviated Esq.) is a term of West European origin. In Britain and Ireland, it is a title of respect awarded to men of higher social rank. The word comes from Squire, which is an apprentice to a royal knight. The title "Esquire" has been used continuously since it was created in the distant European past and many uses continue uninterrupted today.
