Sobriquets: Names which have become identified with a particular person, and are recognizable when used instead of the personal name. Some are used only in a particular context: for example, "
Grandmother of Europe" for
Queen Victoria is generally only used when referring to her family links throughout the
royal families of Europe. On the other hand, in some cases the nickname supersedes the personal name, and the individual is referred to by this nickname even in scholarly works: for example, Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus is universally known by his nickname,
Caligula.
Notes:
Nicknames are listed in each section alphabetically, ignoring articles and prepositions.
Non-English words are rendered in italics, and translated where possible.
When the name and nickname are rendered in a non-English language, the nickname will be in boldfaceitalics.
Cognomen
A swung dash, or
tilde (~), is used to indicate where the personal name occurs in the nickname; thus "~ the Accursed", followed by entries about Sviatopolk, Alexander and Tekle Haymanot, means "Sviatopolk the Accursed", "Alexander the Accursed" and "Tekle Haymanot the Accursed".
"~ the Damned"[115] or "~ the Accursed": Sviatopolk I of Kiev (
Russian: Святополк Окаянный, Svyatopolk Okayannyy;
Ukrainian: Святополк Окаянний, Svyatopolk Okayannyy̆)
"~ the Master of Avis": John I of Portugal (
Portuguese: João o Mestre de Avis, a reference to his position as Master of the
Order of Avis before his election as King)
"The Pious Grandfather" (Italian: Il Pio Nonno, a pun on the Italian form of his regnal name, Pio Nono): Pope Pius IX
"The Prince of Whales": George IV of the United Kingdom. Note that it is Whales instead of Wales. George was indeed the
Prince of Wales during his regency, while he was also quite obese. Political satirical cartoons at the time would make fun of his obesity and portray him as a massive whale.[124][125]
