Don and Doña

Don and doña are placed before a first name. The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy defines don as a “tratamiento de respeto que se antepone a los nombres de pila” (a form of respect placed before first names).

In the television comedy El Chavo del 8, two of the adult neighbors are Don Ramón and Doña Florinda.
