His name is originally John Little, but he changed it around. John is the outlaw in Robin Hood and he is buried in a churchyard in the village of Hathersage. The word "Little John" is used to denote kindness and compassion. John was actually an enormous guy.
2. Sobriquet
This refers to a nickname given to John Little and can be used instead of his name, without giving an explanation. It is like everyone knows who you are referring to when stating "sobriquet". the word is also related to sports, politics and music.
3. Mahatma Gandhi
This is the sobriquet name given to Mohandas Gandhi. He was the leader of the Indian Independence movement the the British-ruled India. Different parts of the world refer to him differently and is sometimes known as "father of the nation". Wikipedia gives so much information about him, that I want to go back and really pay attention and focus on more detail when reading this. Gandhi really wanted to achieve "swaraj"
4. Swaraj
Hindi word that refers to self-rule. It can refer to other things as well, but mostly refers to the concept of Indian Independence. This is definitely something that I would like to study more and found it super interesting.
