An aficionado is someone who is very interested in one activity or subject and knows a lot about it — jazz, wine, football, coffee, old cameras. It is a slightly fancy noun borrowed from Spanish, and it sits a step above fan. A fan may just cheer; an aficionado is the person who can talk for a long time about why one recording, one bean, or one match was better than another.

It is not a job title and it does not come with a salary. It is not only for men, even though older English examples often were. In English the Spanish word is already the English word; you do not need to dress it up further.
