Duck | @Astralbee OP said it's "only added in calling," which I assume means 'rich' is something other people call Rashid, not something he calls himself. In this case it seems like it actually would be an "epithet," just like "the Conqueror" or "the Terrible." If I understand the question correctly, it seems like this person is known as "Rashid the Rich" | |

I used to work in government offices where we insisted that all persons gave us a forename and a surname. Some foreign nationals wrote things like 'wife' as surname, because they didn't have one. I don't understand the cultural reason why someone would take the name 'Rich' but I get the impression it isn't because they are wealthy. That would be some brag, wouldn't it? | |
