famousness
State of celebrity
Famousness is the state of being famous—widely known and recognized.
The word is grammatically correct but rarely used; fame or celebrity almost always sounds more natural: Her fame spread quickly rather than Her famousness spread quickly.
Famousness occasionally appears when emphasizing the quality itself: The sheer famousness of the place overwhelmed us.
