Suffix (name) - Honorary

Honorary

Such titles may be given by:

• a monarch (for example, K.B.E., a suffix granted to Knights Commander of the Order of the British Empire);
• a university (as in a LL.D. (Doctor of Laws) given in recognition of a person's life achievements rather than their academic standing);
• a church or seminary, who may offer an honorary Doctor of Divinity (D.D.) to outstanding ministers or teachers.
