Lord St Germans bears the subsidiary title of Baron Eliot, of St Germans in the County of Cornwall (1784) in the Peerage of Great Britain, which has been customarily used as a courtesy title by his eldest son.
The title takes its name from St Germans in Cornwall.
The family seat is Port Eliot in Cornwall.
