Meaning and background
The story behind Majesty
Majesty is an English noun for imposing dignity, grandeur or exalted rank, and it is also a form of address for a monarch. Its history runs through Old French *majeste* to Latin *maiestas*, from the comparative root behind “greater”. That pedigree is about a vocabulary word, not a hereditary animal title. The name can sound ceremonious on an ordinary walk, with the contrast itself supplying much of its appeal.
