Traditionally it designates a gentleman. That's probably not what Julie means. Modernly it usually designates an attorney, in the US at least.

Esquire.

It originially was one of the two co-equal ranks before knighthood.

The other was Valetus. Now known as a Valet. But; originally a man who as Knight in all but name. One who had the income and equipment of a knight, but; who had decided not to take the vows of Knighthood ( and hence accept the economic duties and hardships of a Knight)

The Esquire/Squire was a man who was progressing up the latter of knighthood. Sort of a knights apprentice.

Over the years Valetus and Esquire sort of became merged around the time that Knighthood became a sought after honor rather than a duty.

So; that one could be of the class to be knighted ( which was designated as Esquire), but; had not recieved the "dignity" of knighthood.

This is of course when being a knight was no longer a military distinction.

More pointless trivia. There was a rank above knight; a Knight Bannerett. This was a knight that commanded other Knights and thier forces. A Knight bannerett had the tails of his personal flag cut off, forming a square banner. The origin of the term "Flag officer"
