Etymology
伯 (“count”) + 爵 (“nobility title”). Originally, the third highest among the 五等爵 (Gotōshaku, “Five Ranks”) in China under the Zhou dynasty. Used as an equivalent to the concept of the European "count" after the Meiji Restoration, during the establishment of a new peerage system called 華族 (Kazoku).
