Monseigneur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monseigneur is an honorific in the French language. It has occasional English use as well, as it may be a title before the name of a French prelate, a member of a royal family or other dignitary. Also it is sometimes used as a name for a Frenchman who has a position on the court.
Monsignor is both a title and an honorific in the Roman Catholic Church.[1] In francophone countries, it is rendered Monseigneur, and this spelling is also commonly encountered in Canadian English practice.
The plural form is Messeigneurs.
