  EARL, Eng. law. A title of nobility next below a marquis and above a 
  viscount. 
       2. Earls were anciently called comites, because they were wont comitari 
  regem, to wait upon the king for counsel and advice. He was also called 
  shireman, because each earl had the civil government of a shire. 
       3. After the Norman conquest they were called counts, whence the shires 
  obtained the names of counties. They have now nothing to do with the 
  government of counties, which has entirely devolved on the sheriff, the 
  earl's deputy, or vice comes.
