According to production notes in ''[[The Complete History]]'' [[TCH 67|volume 67]], writer [[Neil Gaiman]]'s line in the ''Doctor Who'' television story ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'', in which [[Amy Pond]] tells [[Rory Williams]] that Time Lord was "just what they're called", is intended to mean that "Time Lord" is just a name and nothing more.

Various ''Doctor Who'' spin-offs that do not have the rights to use the name of "the Time Lords" have needed to find indirect ways to use the species through other [[List of DWU concepts not owned by the BBC|licensed elements]] (such as the individually-licensed concept of "the [[Great House]]s") or other ways to incorporate the lords of Gallifrey. For example, in the [[Faction Paradox (series)|''Faction Paradox'' series]], their faction is usually referred to as simply the Great Houses, with their planet called simply [[the Homeworld]]. Individual members are thus known as "Homeworlders" or "members of the Great Houses", or on occasion by the title of "Sun Builders" (introduced in ''[[The Book of the Peace (anthology)|The Book of the Peace]]'' and subsequently used under license from [[Jayce Black]] in other DWU spin-offs, such as ''[[P.R.O.B.E. (series)|P.R.O.B.E.]]''). [[Cutaway Comics]]' ''[[Omega (comic story)|Omega]]'' comic series, having the legal right to feature [[Omega]] and the [[Minyan]]s, referred to Omega's people as simply "the Gods", relying on ''[[Underworld (TV story)|Underworld]]'' itself establishing that the Gods of Minyos were the ancient Time Lords. ''[[Cwej: The Series]]'' features a group known as the Superiors, a species which [[Koschei]] is a part of. The novel ''[[The Bloodletters (novel)|The Bloodletters]]'' copied this convention and also used the term "Archons of Time", equating its Homeworlders/Archons with the Time Lords via the licensed usage of [[the Colonel]].
