the Magnificent

Title for greatness

A title appended to the name of a ruler or historical figure to indicate exceptional grandeur, power, or achievement: Suleiman the Magnificent, Lorenzo the Magnificent.

The epithet suggests someone whose reign or accomplishments inspired awe among contemporaries.

Used ironically, it deflates pretension: Gary the Magnificent finally graced us with his presence.
