If you mean the name part (the "Lady" in "Lady Diana") that's a NPFX (before first name) or SPFX (before last name) or NSFX (after last name) depending on where it appears. In 7.0 (and 5.5.1 and before) there is no a single term for all three of those name parts in GEDCOM, nor a way to distinguish different type of prefixes/suffixes. For example, the following all use NSFX for very different logical name meanings

You can also record fact that an individual uses or has been awarded such an honorific, that's a g7:INDI-TITL. The combination of an INDI.TITL and an INDI.NAME.NSFX with the same payload could lead one to assume that the NSFX had that title type, but there is no direct way to record that relationship. |
