A Latin name or title meaning great, often used as a given name or part of historical titles like 'Albertus Magnus.'
From Latin 'magnus' directly meaning large or great. Used in medieval and classical times to distinguish important historical figures, similar to how 'the Great' is used in English.
Magnus is basically the Latin version of calling someone 'the Great'—it shows up in medieval names and titles, and it's why Charlemagne got names like 'Carolus Magnus' in Latin documents.
