A man with the title 'Lord' . His wife has the courtesy title of 'Lady'

Also knights of the realm in the UK carry the title 'Sir . as in Sir Keir Starmer'. His wife is 'Lady Starmer', or Lady Victoria Starmer.

More casually a lot of females like to be referred to as lady. although in the aristocratic sense , they are not ladies.

Here are the corresponding titles in the UK Aristocracy.

Duke/Duchess

Earl/ Viscountess

Marquis/Marquess (NOT Earless)

Viscount/Viscountess

Baron/Baroness

Lord/Lady

Sir/Lady(Dame) remin commoners and are not part of the aristocracy.

That's why Sir Keir Starmer, the British Prime Minister, sits in the House of Commons, because he is a commoner.

If the female has been raised to the equivlent of a 'knight' (sir) in her own right, then she is known as 'Dame'.
