To receive the title "Sir," an individual must be knighted, a ceremonial honor typically bestowed by a monarch. In the UK, this usually occurs as part of the Honours System, often recognizing contributions to society in areas like arts, science, or public service. The process typically involves nomination, investigation, and formal approval. Once knighted, the title "Sir" is placed before the person's first name.
