renown[renown 词源字典]

renown: [14] To be renowned is etymologically to be ‘named again’, and hence to be ‘famous’. The word comes from Old French renon, a derivative of the verb renomer ‘make famous’. This was formed from the prefix re- ‘again’ and nomer ‘name’, a descendant of Latin nōmināre, from which English gets nominate.
