    • A son who has the same first name as his father: The abbreviation "Jr." (or "jr") is a suffix added to a person's name to distinguish them from their parent, typically their father, who shares the exact same first, middle, and last name.
Usage
  • "Jr." is used as a title suffix following a person's surname.
  • It is almost always written with a period and is commonly capitalized (Jr.), though the lowercase form (jr) is sometimes seen in informal contexts.
