Sire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: ,
For other uses, see
Sire (disambiguation).
Sire is a
form of address for reigning
kings in the
United Kingdom and in
Belgium. It was formerly also used in
France,
Italy,
Germany,
Sweden and
Spain. Historically Sire had a wider usage. During the
middle ages Sire was generally used to address a superior, a person of importance or in a position of authority or the
nobility in general. It is probable that "sire" and the French "(mon)sieur" share a common etymologic origin, both ultimately being related to the
Latin senior.
