Best Answer

In April 1705, Queen Anne knighted Newton during a royal visit to Trinity College, Cambridge. The knighthood is likely to have been motivated by political considerations connected with the Parliamentary election in May 1705, rather than any recognition of Newton's scientific work or services as Master of the Mint.

In historical contexts, "Sir" is a title of honor in the United Kingdom that denotes knighthood. Isaac newton was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 for his contributions to science, which is why he is commonly referred to as Sir Isaac Newton.
