Classical Latin has no word for "baron" because they did not exist in ancient times. The Latin word baro referred to a servant, slave or simply "man". It literally means "blockhead" or "lout".

The medieval "Baron" is one of the many different levels of knighthood and is Anglo-Norman French, derived from baro, but with a much more positive meaning. It means an important knight who has sworn allegance directly to the king - a "king's man", someone he could rely on.

The medieval Latin version was still baro.
