A sobriquet (/ˈsoʊbrɪkeɪ/ SOH-brik-ay), or soubriquet, is a nickname, sometimes assumed, but often given by another, that is descriptive. A sobriquet is distinct from a pseudonym, as it is typically a familiar name used in place of a real name, without the need of explanation, and it often becomes more familiar than the original name.

  • Un sobriquet est un surnom familier donné par dérision, moquerie ou même affectueusement et qui peut être fondé sur quelque défaut de corps ou d’esprit, ou sur quelque singularité… Il doit être distingué du surnom hypocoristique, qui au contraire, est une forme abrégée ou diminutive d'un nom individuel (Jacquot...) et est généralement créé — affectueux ou familier — par l'entourage immédiat, avant d'être adopté publiquement.

  • A sobriquet (/ˈsoʊbrɪkeɪ/ SOH-brik-ay), or soubriquet, is a nickname, sometimes assumed, but often given by another, that is descriptive. A sobriquet is distinct from a pseudonym, as it is typically a familiar name used in place of a real name, without the need of explanation, and it often becomes more familiar than the original name. The term sobriquet may apply to the nickname for a specific person, group of people, or place. Examples are "Emiye Menelik", a name of Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia, who was popularly and affectionately recognized for his kindness ("emiye" means "mother" in Amharic); "Genghis Khan", who now is rarely recognized by his original name Temüjin; and Mohandas Gandhi, who is better known as "Mahatma" Gandhi ("mahatma" means "great soul" in Sanskrit). Well-known places often have sobriquets, such as New York City, often referred to as the "Big Apple". (en)
