The Aces down to the Jacks or Knaves of a suit are known as honour cards or face cards.
Yes, 'K-nave' - an honour is a picture card or an ace in a few games
Yes, king = K, part of church = NAVE, so the answer is KNAVE. It's an honour because in cards, the knave is the jack, and in some card games, the ace/king/queen/jack are called "honour cards" as distinct from the ten down to the two.
