The title is derived from the Latin word ianitor meaning "doorkeeper" (see also building superintendent). A female janitor is called a janitress, although this term is rarely used. (The title custodian is sometimes given to janitors merely as a term of higher respect, however, generally speaking, custodians tend to have higher salaries, and more responsibilities. They may also be required to receive training and licensing in various fields [e.g., HazMat, CPR, Boiler Operations, etc.], depending on their employer and the specific nature of their job. In these respects a custodian may be considered to be different from a janitor.) In some settings janitors are called housekeepers or housekeeping staff and in others they are referred to as maintenance or maintenance staff. Institutions have also come up with a number of alternative job titles, including:

Custodial technician

Sanitation supervisor

Domestic engineer

Guest Service Associate (G.S.A.)
