Jr.

Adjective

 * 1)  A title used after a son's name when his father has the same name.

Usage notes
"Jr." is typically placed after an optional comma following the surname, as seen in "John Smith, Jr." or "John Smith Jr." Jr., Sr., and other suffixes are considered additions to names rather than integral parts of the surname or given name. In abbreviated formats with only the surname or the given name initial and surname, any suffix is typically added after the surname (e.g., "Smith Jr." or "J. Smith Jr."). In name lists where the surname precedes the given name, the Jr. is written alongside the surname, as in "Smith Jr., John." It's worth noting that the use of Jr. and Sr. seems less common for females. Also see Wikipedia style guide on "Generational and regnal suffixes".

Usage notes
While it is standard practice in Australia to spell the word with the letter U, the political party's name is spelled with no U. Although the "American spelling" has been used officially since the early 20th century, some sources continued to use "Labour" for several decades. The absence of the letter "u" is due to the influence of King O'Malley, an American-born politician who was a prominent figure in the Labor Party. A similar phenomenon of proper nouns using American spelling when traditionally using British spelling when used as common nouns occurs in the naming of several South Australian places, most notably Victor Harbor, which is still often spelt as Victor Harbour (for example the town's railway station is spelt as Victor Harbour).
