Alexander the Great is certainly the most famous person to
be called "the Great," but he is by no means the only
one.

There have, for example, been at least three rulers of
Russia who have come to be known as "the Great."  These are Catherine the Great, Ivan
the Great, and Peter the Great.  There have also been rulers of other countries, such as
Frederick the Great of Prussia, who have been given this
title.

Since there is no criteria for who gets to be called
"the Great," there is a great deal of variation in how famous and how important the
people are.  Whether or not they "deserve" it, many people other than Alexander have
been called "the Great."
