NICKNAME

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 660 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICKNAME , a name given to a person in addition to his personal names,
Christian
  and surname, either as a playful or
familiar
  form of address or as a mark of ridicule, contempt or hatred. The
Middle
 
English
  form of the word, nekename, shows that it is a corruption of " an ekename " (i.e. " added " name; eke, earlier eche, from the root seen in Lat. augere, Gr. aWtvew), and is therefore equivalent to the Lat. agnomen.
There is an interesting
list
  of
national
  nicknames in Notes and Queries, 9th
