commoner
One without title
A commoner is a person without noble rank or title—an ordinary member of society rather than aristocracy.
The term belongs mostly to historical or British contexts, where the distinction between nobility and common people retains some currency: As a commoner, she couldn't expect an invitation to court.
In casual use, commoner can mean anyone of average or unremarkable status.
