===Early Generations===
All early generations Sages did not require any title appendixed to their name since their very name alone was greater then even the title 'Rabban' that was reserved for the Nasi. This was true for all Biblical personalities, the Anshi Knesset Hagadoel and the [[Zugot]]. It was only during the generation following the last pair of Zugot; [[Hillel the Elder|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.
