The Lord is a rank thing. Yes, he's considered a demon, but Lord is what the race is called. It's followed by Princess (We haven't seen a Prince, but it presumably exists), King/Queen, Emperor/Empress, and Overlord (all the other titles that we know of). There's a sort of hierarchy to the "Oni" race (Demon race? One of the boses they fought in the fire dungeon was called a Demon Lord, but he was part of the "Akuma" race. I'd say just call "Akuma" devils and leave it at that, but the guy's title was actually Demon Lord. "Akuma" fit the traditional "devil" image in the story (beings from hell who come to the physical world to plague it) going by the appearances we've seen of them while "Oni" [the race Rou and the rest of his blood related family, the orcs, the monkeys, ghouls, and minotaurs] seem more like terrestrial monsters without the "hell" image that the "Akuma" have).

But I digress. Lord (well, Half-Lord, since he hasn't completely become one yet) is the correct term to refer to the guy's race.
