An order of merit is an honorific order that is conferred by a state, government, royal family, or other sovereign entity to an individual in recognition of military or civil merit. The historical background of the modern honours system of orders of merit may be traced to the emergence of chivalric orders during the Middle Ages. Orders of merit may be bestowed as official awards by states, or as dynastic orders by royal families. In the case of modern republics, an order of merit may constitute the highest award conferred by the state authority.

  • Een Orde van Verdienste is een moderne ridderorde. Men noemt deze orden, voor zover ze geen militair karakter hebben, wel "civiele orde" maar ook "staatsorde" komt als verzamelterm wel voor. Er zijn orden met een gemengd militair/civiel karakter zoals het Franse Legioen van Eer. De oudste orden waren gemeenschappen van adellijke ridders of gezelschappen rondom een koning of vorst. De Orde van het Legioen van Eer en de Orde van Oranje-Nassau zijn voorbeelden van moderne ridderorden die alleen voor verdienste worden toegekend. (nl)
