[modifică] Etimologie. În alte limbi

Originea cuvântului modern baron provine din franceza veche – baron, care, la rândul său poate avea la origine cuvântul german vechi baro (probabil „purtător (de greutăţi)”, cf. engl. to bear, lat. târzie baro). Probabil că sensul expresiei a evoluat către ideea de om puternic, din care a derivat înţelesul binecunoscut, acela de „nobil”.[1]

Like other major Western noble titles, Baron is sometimes used to render certain titles in non-western languages with their own traditions, even though they are necessarily historically unrelated and thus hard to compare, which are considered 'equivalent' in relative rank.

This is the case with China's Nan (男), hereditary title of nobility of the fifth rank (男爵), as well as its derivatives and adaptations:

• the Korean Namjak (男爵) or Chamise
• the Japanese equivalent Danshaku (男爵)
• the Vietnamese equivalent Nam tước

In some republics of continental Europe, the unofficial title of "Baron" retains a purely social prestige, with no particular political privileges.

In the Polynesian island monarchy of Tonga, as opposed to the situation in Europe, barons are granted this imported title (in English), alongside traditional chiefly styles, and continue to hold and exercise some political power.

Furthermore it is customary in Western languages to use the word Baron to render somewhat 'equivalent' ranks in non-related aristocratic hierarchies in exotic cultures.
