Also known as informal name, moniker, sobriquet
A nickname, in some circumstances also known as a sobriquet, or informally a "moniker", is an informal substitute for the proper name of a person, place, or thing. It is distinct from a pseudonym, pen name, stage name, or title, although the concepts can overlap. A nickname may be a descriptive and based on characteristics, or it be a variant form of a proper name. Nicknames may be used for convenience by shortening a name, or they may be used to express affection, playfulness, contempt, or to reflect a particular character trait.
AI overview
A nickname is an informal substitute name for a person, place, or thing that differs from their official name and can be based on characteristics, shortened versions, or expressions of affection, playfulness, or contempt. Nicknames matter because they serve practical purposes like convenience and can communicate relationships, attitudes, and personal qualities in ways that formal names do not.
