It's a staple of Medieval Fantasy that whenever a hero does something noteworthy, they get a "surname" (more properly termed an epithet or byname) out of it, like say Sir Tropesalot, Dragon Slayer.

Mistaken For Name
Comedy arises out of a character mistaking a word or phrase for someone's name, usually during their introduction. For example, Alice asks Bob about his name, and in response, Bob hesitates and uses a filler word like "uhm" which Alice misconstrues as Bob's actual name. Or Alice makes an indirect inference about Bob's name and mistakenly associates Bob with a phrase or title and starts addressing him using this unintended moniker.
