hahha you didnt kno thats itss a joke haha WoOOSh 😂😂😂🤣🤣💯💯👏👏🅱️💯💯
Wow a real life equivalent of when you invite a girl over to play bionicles and she starts taking her clothes off meme
Catherine the "I have the special machine so the horse can f*** me easier now" was actually very promiscuous. And tyrant. And narcissist. Such a horrible person.
@Александр Во-общето ты прав.
And Peter, Frederick, Pompey, Louis and so on :-0
Alfred!
Cyrus.
Also Cnut (yes, that was a real name).

Pompey gave himself the title "Magnus" (Latin for 'The Great'). Although it was basically a pr stunt, he was an amazingly accomplished general who had the misfortune of becoming Julius Caesar's enemy. If Caesar hadn't been around Pompey could technically be considered a 'great' (although Scipio Africanus would deserve this more in my opinion), Julius Caesar not only paved the way for the Roman Empire but became a god upon his death. He, or Augustus, are far more deserving of such a title than Pompey whose military prowess far exceeded his political career, unlike the Caesars.
Why is it that so many people from completely different countries have had the same middle name "the".
_Subtle book promo_
spicymemestealer just a little subtle
@@NameExplain *max out those dollary doos*
Subtle as a sledge hammer.
A great explanation. Literally.
Wow, your book is also on sale here in Brazil! Good to know!
You must have balls of steel to mention Alexander. Bette prepare for the nationalists
@D Oxley *Declares war*
@D Oxley You have to annex them to rename them.
In the Netherlands we call Catherine the Great not the Great but the Greatest
Could you talk about ancient roman names, for example how Julius was Ceasar's last name
I didn’t even know that
its the opposite , Caesar was his last name
Great idea he should do that!
@@Possiblyqiqi | Ancient Roman names, like (most) cultural Asian names, came after the surname.
(No, Caesar was not Asian, and Rome (the Empire, for the main part) was in Europe.)
Ceasar was his title. His name was Gaius Julius. In Rome your title came after your name.
Pre ordered the book a few weeks ago but this was a great taste. Looking forward to reading it.
Here comes the Greeks and Macedonians arguing over where Alexander was from
MACEDONIAA
He was from Pella.
@@gligordzolev2549 yes, which was a Greek city state at the time
Oh boy, the argument begins
That's so last year. It's all about the South China Sea now.
My name is Philip :D and my baby cousin is named Alexander
you shouldgibe your son the bane Alexander xD
What about a flute blowing prussian, Friedrick the Great
Thumbs up for using the factually correct, instead of politically 'correct', BC and not BCE. Ordered the book just for this.
I've always made fun of this whole AD /CE discussion. English speaking world (and some other languages) use this system referencing a God, while (supposedly) Ultra Religious Poland uses terms Our Era (pol. N.E) and Before Our Era(pol. P.N.E)
Not that I dislike term Anno Domini , it sounds good and all, but why have this debate at all when you could use neutral system? BC still has the same initials as Before Christ, so why not use Before Our Era or something along these lines?
The issue is that it is not a neutral change nor was it done for neutral reasons.
In any event, its also asinine as it still pegs the date to the birth of christ [ accurate or not ].
e.g. its just a name change to not 'offend' a small segment of people, to offense a large segment of people, and yet, still is the same date.
There is Alexander and that shit grin he’s got.
KING OF CONQUERORS!
I think a vid about how the astrological signs got their names would be good. Great video, love your work. Sorry btw, I'm not in a position to be a patron at the moment, but I plan to be shortly. Keep up the good work man. 😁
Sulaiman the Magnificent, is also very unique, explain it please
Don't tell anyone but it was me who killed Alexander the Great
How dare you man!
Well he was sleeping with my wife, and she thought he was Grrrrreat! So I had to kill him. The fucker
Little Cripple
Oh im so sorry
With what did you kill him?. I am pretty sure he could disarm you except if you were far from him with a gun.
@@nicosmind3 | Was your wife Tony the Tiger?
You have a really good voice for book writing
Hey! I own that book. I've been reading it since yesterday.
when you invite her too dress up in army gear and play with your toy soilders, but she starts taking her clothes off
peter: wack!
What about Alfred the Great??
They guy was able to stop the viking threat in his kingdom, when all others were destroyed be them.
Patrick the lazy ? i thought you're Patrick the Clickbaiter
One video I’d like to see is why there are so many ways to spell the name “Jon”.
What about Karl der Große?
My thought exactly! Charlemagne = Carolus Magnus
What type do you think I was talking about
What made Temujin great? Was it his insane conquest?

By coincidence I'm writing something about King Chulalongkorn Maharaj, where Maharaj is the Sanskrit derived Thai epithet for "The Great King". I was looking at the other Maharaj in Thai/Siamese history and noticed there were quite a few. That got me thinking about how many monarchs in The West are called "The Great" and came up with Alexander and Catherine. Then I realised that while I knew a bit about Alexander, I didn't actually know anything about Catherine, or why she was great. Then your video pops up today, just after I stumbled on some great videos by another channel that were about Alexander (in particular about what became of his body after he died). So, I guess that means I'm on the right track writing about Chulalongkorn.
And I was reading War and Peace today while waiting at Immigration and musing on how utterly brilliant Tolstoy was.
The epithet began with the Persians, who called Cyrus the founder Cyrus the Great. Alexander also acknowledged Cyrus as "the Great" and thus scholars of the next era used this for Alexander.
Pompey, Caesar's top rival tried to call himself Pompey Magnus but a lot of people ignored that
On 2:50 it's a figure of Peter I, not the Peter III
Thank you sir Patrick the saint
What about a video on Ivan The Terrible (and any other monarchs who earned that title)?
Yeah. But that still hasn't explained the word great. I mean when exactly can a person be called "the great?" and most importantly who determines them?!
Another reason why they're called the great is so you won't confuse them with other rulers .Names like Alexander Catherine Frederick etc were very common throughout history
It comes from a variety of sources, in Rome Pompey called himself Magnus (the great) and Alexander called Cyrus, the founder of Acheamanid Persia "The Great."
2:19 forvo.com/word/zerbst/ your "Anhalt" was pretty good
Peter was a man-child. Catherine was a feminine roll model
Well, both Alexander and Catherine were known for taming horses, if you know what I mean.
Where does the surname Foote come from, especially with that e at the end?
wooow how cool to produce the book as audiobook with your voice ✌🏽😁 please check mentorbox their service is great
My son
Ask for thyself another kingdom
For that which I leave is too small for thee
Come on Patrick, anaesthetic fueled scripts rock. Get well soon
Can we get the book in Canada?
2:17 Pretty sure that's dyscalculia
It is debatable whether Alexander the Great truly untangled the Gordian knot. On one hand the knot was loose after him, on the other hand he didn't untie it per se.
That's why cutting the Gordian knot can also mean bruteforcing something
He was destined to rule Asia (minor) , and rule he did. For a short time.
Nice eu4 music.
my mother and my aunt are from zerbst too xd
Name Explain please make a video about What Made Cyrus Great?
His failure to over Greece, wait no, Macedonia, wait no, Greece, wa...
Jacob Schmidt
Cyrus didn't lose a single battle! He captured Ecbattana, Lidya and Babylon without even fighting! (they surrendered) His son Cambyses and his cousin Darius later expanded their realm through Egypt, Greece and India.
@@LionKing-ew9rm shit you right lol
@@LionKing-ew9rm except for the Greece part
Howdy name explain can you do a video on the origins of the names of the fifty states?
Anhalt you pronounced correctly but Zerbst is pronounced how it looks zerbs-t
I think Alexander the Great lived from 356BC-323BC which would make him 33. 336BC-323BC would make him 13 when he died.
He died at the age of 32 actually
336BC-323BC Where the years he became an empreror. Not his birth.
Alex The Nationalistic Oh okay that would make sense.
Name Explain the Great
"Great": The title you give when someone does so much cool stuff that you can't bother to be more specific about their achievements. (I can sympathise a bit with Catherine being called "the Great," since she did a _lot_ of different great stuff in her reign, but Alexander didn't do much beyond conquering everything in sight.)
Contrast Suleiman the Magnificent, whose Arabic title translates to something like "the Lawmaker" since he codified centuries of law into a single, useful text. He did other stuff, but that's apparently what his countrymen thought was most important.
Uhm... What you've basically done here is outline why "conquering everything in sight" successfully, earns you the title 'Great'. It's hard.
Correction: Alexander lost in India..
Actually no. He defeated Porus in India. He only let Porus get his kingdom back because he was impressed by his attitude. He also was forced to give up conquering farther because his army became home-sick.(Not to mention the Greeks didn't like him much due to his adoption of swankier Persian ways of living rather than the more austere Greek way)
Ban All Pineapples this is false narrative. Alexander was known not to pardon kings he fought.
Correction: Alexander had your people flee with their tails between their legs at the mere sight of him.
He won war with Indian king Porus but gave his kingdome back himself
And eventually he lost his battle with the Grim Reaper.
2:17 Was she born in 1792 or 1729?
What makes Haythem great? that would be a great video...
hope you are better now
Did you say tolstoy?
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORYYYY
isn't alexander the great named that cause you know his empire was great (great as in big)
Can i buy it from Malaysia Amazon
Great
What about Alfred the Great?
So then what about the (probably) fictional Yu the Great of the Xia Dynasty?
2:16 she was born anhalt-zerbst, the map of Prussia you show is not accurate for any period, it is a map of the north german connfederation
oh sorry, she was from anhalt-zerbst, but she was born in Prussia
What about peter and fredrerick the great?
Was it carpel tunnel surgery?In any case hope you will have as pain reduced and speedy as possible.
they used artillery only
Where's Ashoka the great
Frederick!?
Another person who got the title of "Great" throuh history and is still alive is Ariana Grande (grande means big/great in portuguese)
loads of stage magicians are called the great as well !
What made them so great was that they were both Slavs
Umm Alexander the great wasn't a Slav. Slavs came into that region about 900 years after the time of Alexander.
Macedonians at the time were Greek or related peoples who were considered Greek- Cretans, Thracians, Illyrians, and such. He was certainly not a Slav.
Catherine was not a Slav by birth or marriage- her family and Peter's were ethnically German
I hope your surgery went well?
Why do you pronounce Amazon like "Amouzun"
In British English the second A is sounded flatter.
“Great” used to mean large. So these were extraordinarily large people - perhaps seven foot tall
Hey NameExplain, i think you should do videos on different slurs and bad words from the English language.
Alexander's army was defeated by Chandragupta Maurya
Why is Cyrus called the great?
I'm Jeremy and my title is: The Genius That Society Refuses to Recognize.
How about Vlad the Impaler? :3
I thought that was their last name
Constantine the Great?
Charlemagne = Charles the Great.
For us, Poles, Catherine wasn't so great :( Thank you for great content, though!
SPOILERS
They’re no Alfred the great tho
Pregnent fun?
How about what made Ivan terrible.
He already made a video about that czcams.com/video/4Sog2Ik4IUo/video.html&
Hello
Melania should take over too lol
Frederick II?
Or Gustaf II Adolf
I made them great.
Bruh her husband Peter... it’s not that he was stupid or some shit. He was mentally disabled. real facts look it up
Is being called great better than being called Caesar
MANCHILD.
Ashoka the great and Akbar the great ?
I know why they were great. They were conquerors aka butchers who killed innocent people who wanted to be left alone.
I really hope Prinzessin Sophie had never stepped foot in Russia.
Conservative Catherine was shitty that Peter III was a progressive. Downvote for saying Peter III was an idiot. He was MUCH better than Catherine in his 6 months then she was in her 32 usurper years.
