There's a lot of historical figures where we use their title instead of given name. He wasn't born Ghengis Khan, he was born Temujin. Maybe read a book instead of watching some schizo YouTube video?
Sayf al-Dawla was a prominent Hamdanid leader who's title translates to Sword of the Dynasty, but also not his real name.
Caligula wasn't born Caligula either, it's just a nickname.
>>
Temujin got that title by being the biggest chad of the steppes.
>>
>>18404397
Genghis Khan more accurately translates to "universal leader." They considered him leader of all peoples.
>>
>>18404451
Caligula, Sayf al-Dawla, and Genghis Khan actually had pretty creative names, considering most other leaders from medieval to modern period just using the epithet "the Great."

The medieval nicknames are all insults. Charles the Fat, Charles the Simple, Pepin the Short, Louis the Stammerer
>>
>>18404769
Nah there's Charles the Fair, Charles the Bold, Frederick II "Stupor Mundi (Wonder of the World), William the Bad and his son William the Good, Richard Lionheart etc

>>18404474

Anon it's not that serious. You worry too much, try some pussy it may cheer you up after 30 years of none.
>>
>>18404474
Nah. We need more medieval style sobriquets. Hell just the monarchs of England have some of the best selection:

>Ethelred the Unready
>Edward the Confessor
>Sweyn Forkbeard
>Harold Harefoot
>Richard the Lionheart
>John Lackland
>Edward Longshanks
>>

When you start looking up all the names of historical figures, and what their names mean in terms of etymology, you start to realize that all of them are fake.

Galileo Galilei literally means circle man from circle town, and he is known for talking about circles that circle around circles.
>>
>>18405856
Not fake, that's just name physiognomy/ predestination
Atm we have Scott Bessent running the American Treasury. His name comes from the word besant (Byzantine gold coin)
