word squire comes from the Old French escuier (modern French écuyer), itself derived from the Late Latin scutarius ("shield bearer"), in medieval or Old English a scutifer. The Classical Latin equivalent was armiger, "arms bearer". The term has evolved in its uses, referring in the Middle Ages to a trainee knight, after that to the leader of an English village - often a justice of the peace or a Member of Parliament, and - currently - to a justice of the peace or to a similar local dignitary in US, to an attendant escorting a woman, or to a gallant.
