Meaning and origin
==== Noun ==== Sir (plural Sirs) Alternative letter-case form of sir. (UK) The titular prefix given to a knight or baronet. (Philippines, colloquial or informal) A respectful term of address or reference to a man of higher rank or position before the man's given name or nickname. ===== Usage notes ===== The title "Sir" is used with the knight's given or full name, but not his family name. If John Smith is knighted, he is known as Sir John Smith or Sir John, but properly never Sir Smith. He may thus be called Sir John wherever he would formerly have been called Mr. Smith.
- (Philippines, colloquial or informal) A respectful term of address or reference to a man of higher rank or position before the man's given name or nickname.
