Wiki:

An honourific (sometimes Honourable) is a word or expression that conveys esteem or respect when used in addressing or referring to a person. Sometimes the term is used not quite correctly to refer to an honorary title. It is also often conflated with systems of honourific speech in linguistics, which are grammatical or morphological ways of encoding the relative social status of speakers.

Example:

The Japanese language has honorific expressions. A base service performed for a person of very high degree may become a very honorific office; as for instance the office of a Maid of Honor or of a Lady in Waiting to the Queen, or the Kings Master of the Horse or his Keeper of the Hounds. It is virtually impossible to discuss the Thai Royal Family in English without offending native Thais: the special honorific forms of reference that exist in Thai simply have no counterparts in English.
