A title of honor or honorary title is a title bestowed upon individuals or organizations as an award in recognition of their merits. Sometimes the title bears the same or nearly the same name as a title of authority, but the person bestowed does not have to carry any duties, possibly except for ceremonial ones. Some examples of honorary titles from various areas are: * Academician * Colonel (title) * Fellow of an academic, artistic, or professional society * Freeman of the City of London * Hero of the Russian Federation * Honorary degree or position, such as honorary Professor * Knight, Dame, or Companion of an honorific order * New Knowledge Worker of Korea * People's Artist Some historical honorary titles may be bought, just like certain nobility titles. This has long been a matter of fraud, both outright and indirect. Some honorary titles serve as positions of sinecure and honorary retirement. ==See also== * False titles of nobility * Hereditary titles * Honorary title (academic) * Honorary titles in Russia * Honorific * Royal and noble styles * Style (manner of address) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Title of honor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
