A sobriquet ( SOH-brih-kay, -KAY also pronounced SOH-brih-ket, -KET) is a descriptive nickname, sometimes assumed, but often given by another. A sobriquet is distinct from a pseudonym in that it is typically a familiar name used in place of a real name without the need for explanation; it may even become more familiar than the original name.
