 In the past, these styles were reserved to members of the "szlachta" and played more or less the same roles as "Lord" or "Sir" and "Lady" or "Madam" in English.Since the 19th century, they have come to be used in all strata of society and may be considered equivalent to the English "Mr." and "Ms." There is a separate style, "Panelė" ("Miss"), applied to an unmarried woman.The given name(s) normally comes before the surname.
