Question

In British tradition when someone is knighted does that mean that Sir is placed in the front of their name?

Answer 1

If that someone is a man and a British subject, it does.  A female British subject who is knighted places Dame before her name.  A non-subject receives only an honorary knighthood and doesn't call him/herself by it.

Answer 2

A knight can use "Sir," and the feminine equivalent can use "Dame."Foreign citizens can not use either title because their titles are honorary.

http://www.royal.gov.uk/output/page4877.... has information about knighthoods.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

If a British or Commonwealth citizen is knighted then they get the honorific title "Sir" in front of their name. The female equivalent is "Dame". There are honorary knighthoods and damehoods for those who are not British or Commonwealth citizens and they have the right to place KBE or DBE after their names but do not use the honorific unless they gain British citizenship in which case they may apply to use the title associated with their honour.
