An English honorific is a title in the English language that expresses esteem, courtesy or respect for a position or rank when used to address or refer to a person.

The title must be in English for this tag to be used, although the text outside of the title do not have to be in English.

In English, the most used are Master, Mr (Mister), Mrs (Missus), Miss, and Ms. Note that in American English, there is a period/full stop (.) after the abbreviated titles (e.g. "Mr. Smith" instead of "Mr Smith").
