BARONETS OF NEW ZEALAND
There are currently 16 Baronets associated with New Zealand who are either born in New Zealand or whose family moved here since the creation.
Baronets wear a distinctive neckbadge and use the hereditary title of "Sir" before the Christian name, and the post-nominal "Bt." The wife of a Baronet may use the title "Lady" before their married name. A Baronetcy is hereditary to the eldest son.
