How to say "earl" in Japanese

• 伯爵はくしゃくCommon
  nounThe word for the noble rank itself: a count, and likewise a British earl, the corresponding English title. Use this when naming the rank or speaking of someone who holds it.
• 伯はくCommon
  nounThe same rank written as a single character, the one that appears inside 伯爵; on its own it is seldom the word you want for the title, and 伯爵 is the form to use.

Use 伯爵 for the noble rank of count or earl; 伯 is the same rank as a single character, but alone it is seldom how the title is expressed, so 伯爵 is the word you want.
