Comitis
Comitis is a Latin noun form and appears most often as the genitive singular of comes, a title and office in ancient and medieval contexts. As such, comitis translates to “of the companion” or, in the sense of a noble title, “of the count” or “of the earl” depending on context. The base noun comes, meaning “companion, comrade, associate,” served as a high-ranking official title in the late Roman Empire and throughout medieval Europe. The genitive form comitis would be used in Latin sentences and documents to indicate possession, for example in phrases like terra comitis (“the land of the count”).
Historical usage and meaning have varied by period. In late antiquity, comes referred to trusted companions
