1. Generally, "uncle" does not have a capital letter, unless it precedes a person's name, e.g., 'Uncle Steven' (1%20uncle%20or%20Uncle%3F,same%20for%20professional%20job%20titles.)).

2. In titles, "uncle" is capitalized, following the same rule as professional job titles (2).

3. When "uncle" is used with a name, like 'Uncle Sam,' it is capitalized as it becomes a proper noun (3).

4. Family titles are capitalized when used immediately before a family member's name, such as 'Uncle Chet' (8).

In summary, capitalization depends on context: generally lowercase, but uppercase when part of a title or preceding a name.
