I am an American, ignorant in these matters. Is the wife of a Baron a Baroness, and the husband of a Baroness a Baron, or does the title pass though only one side of a marriage? If the latter, is the partner still referred to as Lord or Lady? 2602:304:CDA6:51B0:39B2:835F:D7A3:14EA (talk) 22:33, 19 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

The etymology section lacks crucial information about why the female form is "baroness". Although it might look French, it isn't. The French word has always been "baronne". --2001:16B8:3124:F900:E2:9D2C:A061:4CE4 (talk) 11:48, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
