Hello,
It’s been a long time. I’m Rue Jay Hamilton, and today’s topic is the merge of nobility and suffixes. I’ve done some research using this page:
A name suffix,[dubious – discuss] in the Western English-language naming tradition, follows a person's full name and provides additional information about the person. Post-nominal letters indicate that the individual holds a position, educational degree, accreditation, office, or honor (e.g. "PhD", "CCNA", "OBE"). Other examples include generational designations like "Sr." and "Jr." and "I", "II", "III", etc. Another used is Sñr (Spanish for Mr).
Academic suffixes indicate the degree earned ...
Now, why is this important? I’m writing a twisted, dark Cinderella retelling, and the protagonist has various titles throughout the book. Her title is always Lady, but whether she’s a duchess, imperial mistress to the heir apparent, etc changes.
Finally, my question:
Can Duchess of Dijon be a suffix or is that more of a occupation?

Courtesy titles are the next thing to look at:
" * When individuals became peers but are better known by a courtesy title , use that, e.g. Frederick North, Lord North (not “Frederick North, 2nd Earl of Guilford”), Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh (not “Robert Stewart, 2nd Marquess of Londonderry”)."
As royalty and nobility often use titles rather than surnames, often change titles, and are often frequently referred to by names which are not unique, using a clear and consistent nomenclature can sometimes be difficult. This page contains a set of conventions for article titles that have been adopted through discussions between Wikipedia editors (see the talk page and its archives, and earlier, Wikipedia talk:History standards).
General policy on the naming of Wikipedia articles can be found a...
But it shows title following names, so it’s in the suffix position but not abbreviated or attached.
