Are there any historic examples of a person's title containing the word "Who" or similar?
Originally asked on r/askhistorians, but they don't allow "example-seeking" questions. As I did there, I apologise for the title if it seems vague or especially ridiculous in any way. I had trouble really putting the question into words, otherwise my many Google searches may have proven more fruitful.
I'm interested in the practice or phenomena of titles containing the word "who" or perhaps similarly structured titles. For example, a popular Magic the Gathering card is called "Alesha, Who Smiles at Death." It depicts, obviously, Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. While I can't readily think of any other examples, in my mind for some reason it seems like a rather established "trope" in fantasy or mythic literature.
Is there a term describing this sort of title? Where did it start or is most prevalent? Can you think of some other examples?
If this isn't the proper place or you think there is a more proper place please let me know, I'll happily resubmit wherever necessary.
EDIT: I've just thought of another example in literature that more or less fits the scheme I'm curious about: Game of Thrones, "Gregor, the Mountain That Rides."
