Are there any titles amonst the nobilkity, in any country that dont have a link? E.g, Tsar and Tsarina, Count, Countess, Duke and Duchess, Marquess and marchioness.....etc, etc. The only one i can find that doesn't apply is king and queen, but are there any others??? What's the female of the spanish Don or the German keiser (spelling?)?

Female of "Don" - Donna, but not spelled that way

Female of the Spanish Don is Dona with a squiggly over the N.
The title of Earl is unique to England. It is a corruption of Jarl (a Saxon title). The female Earl is a Countess.
Tsar is a corruption of Ceasar. (also spelled Czar)
So you are actually looking for male/female titles that don't match?

Knight, Dame.
Earl, Countess.
Sir, Madam (Monsieur, Madame: Meinherr, Meine Dame etc.)
In Spanish Don has Donna
In German, Kaiser has Kaiserin.

A baronet is a purely English thing.
There are also these strange White Knight people in Ireland.
Also, all those Princes in Russia. Not princes as we know them, but descendants of the ancient independent rulers.
To say nothing of Pengirans among the Malays!

The female of Don is Doña, but it only indicates that you have a degree. It is not a title of nobility. Besides it is used, in a wrong way, to address any people although they haven't the degree.

Baronet in England - Sir, wife Lady.
I think the female of Kaiser (the correct spelling) is Kaiserein (sp?) but I am open to correction there.

Earl and countess: the words are not related
