The name we have generally doesn't always define us perfectly but we get to see people give a name by themselves for their deeds. Which is what they actually get renowned of among his/her fans/well wisher/ worshippers whatever you may call them. It's not all who actually know the what they are and what their name means.
Is it really the case? That what we perceive when the name or Term, for instance "Tiger", is uttered, is it really the actual personality or trait of that particular creature? Or someone is "The Tiger" whom people believe did something (brave) like "Tiger".
