Nicknamed

/ˈnɪkˌneɪmd/

उपनाम दिया हुआ; उपनाम से बुलाया गया

Origin & History

From the verb "nickname" (Middle English "eke-name" meaning "additional name"; later reanalyzed as "neke-name" and then "nickname").

"nickname" क्रिया से; मध्य अंग्रेज़ी "eke-name" (अर्थ: "अतिरिक्त नाम") से, जिसे बाद में "neke-name" और फिर "nickname" के रूप में पुनर्विश्लेषित/बदला गया।

Definition
