'Lord' is a very loose term and means different things in different places. In Britain, it usually means a man with an hereditary title, or one granted for important contributions to society. These titles are called peerages.
There are various titles carried by these people, such as baron, viscount, earl, marquis and duke.
An example of someone with an hereditary title is Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster, and a famous life peer is Andrew Lloyd Webber, Baron Lloyd-Webber of Sydmonton.
