Why is every Sith named Darth?

Every Sith is named "Darth" because it's a title, like "Lord," signifying their dedication to the dark side and breaking from their past, often a shortened form of "Dark Lord of the Sith," though its origins might stem from ancient languages (Rakatan "Dartha" for Emperor, or "Dar-tah" meaning "conquest through death"). It functions as a powerful, symbolic mantle, marking a total transformation into a servant of darkness, though the specific moniker often reflects their nature (e.g., Sidious/insidious, Vader/invader).
