It was only during the generation following the last pair of Zugot; Hillel and Shamai when the use of titles were initiated. First use of titles was for the Nasi starting with [[Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai]]. Other students of Hillel such as [[Yonasan Ben Uziel]] did not carry a title in-front of their name. |

When used alone in reference to a specific person it is referring to [[Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi]]. | It seems its use started in the Second generation of Tanaim, the students of [[Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai]] such as [[Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya|Rebbe Yehoshua]] and Rebbe Eliezer.
