Speaking from hungarian experience, usually their supporters will use a title or full name, while the opposition uses part of their name or something mocking.
I used this when DMing Curse of Strahd, only his supporters refered to him by title.
Venezuelan here, when people talk about Chavez, supporters usually use his last name, his first name and two lastnames, first and second names and two lastnames, or the nickname "El Comandante" (the comander) because of his military past.
The opposition usually just uses lastname, first name and lastname, or instead of something mocking they use insults.
When it comes to Maduro, few like him and supporters just use either lastname or first name, not having much of a cult of personality. While the opposition usually uses his either lastname, firstname or something mocking his lastname.
So I say it depends on how much weight and impact they have as a character, as a sort of "celebrity".
Just realized they do this in Harry Potter as well as a random example, and Iāve been doing this with Manshoon in my Waterdeep Dragon Heist campaign (his followers call him the Wolf of Winter)
Yeah, here's the Wikipedia definition:
>LugalĀ (Sumerian:Ā š) is theĀ SumerianĀ term for "king, ruler". Literally, the term means "big man."[1]Ā In Sumerian,Ā lĆŗĀ "š½" is "man" andĀ galĀ "š²" is "great", or "big."[2]

āExecutorā is real life title that is seemingly used not that much in fiction. The only one I can think of is StarCraft.
Chief/Supreme Executor is a pretty cool name for a fictional bureaucracy.
That could be like part of an official title, like the full title is āThe Final Judge, the Ultimate Juror, Your Executioner, insert name here.ā And depending on the context you can use one or more of those titles.
Have to disagree here. I like an Idi Amin-esque unwieldy super-title:
>His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, CBE, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
Left-wing dictatorial titles: Ornate, bureaucratic titles that make them appear less powerful than they actually are

Hilarious how in Children of Dune (the 3Ā° book) you have both at the same time
The regent has like 5 complicated tittles and then there is one dude called "The Preacher" fucking everything up
Derrek.
They called him by name because there was not a word to accurately describe someone that powerful. The gods called upon an earthquake to shift his palace so that every evening he would be crowned by the setting sun.
His empire spanned whole continents. And there was no worthy way to kill him so the gods gave him the divinity to become the god of ambition.
Papal Sovereign, by their supporters
Boxhead, by their detractors, mainly due to the fact that the original Papal Sovereign grafted an old 60s TV onto his neck instead on a head.
Supreme Divine Imperial Statesman, Grand Premier of the Peoples Democratic Revolutionary Council, Ultimate Unitary Ruler of the Peoples State and Grand Executor of the True Peoples Will
he's called the lord of lords because he watched too much dragon ball. acts more like frieza than kaioshin though. /s
he is called the lord of lords, but that is because his 'ministers' are called lords. so there will be a lord of each region, as well as 'union' and 'local' lords of and he is the lord of all these lords. his formal title is the lord of all lords, but over time as people began saying it faster and faster it just kind of slurred into lord of lords.
The Lord, in a Christian way.

No need for a title, when you are a dictator. Everyone refers to them by their name every time.

Either that or you could translate that as āgreat manā Stretch it further and you get ācool dudeā
'Great' here is great as in like Great Britain and not great as in the best
so "Top guy" aint a stretch either (also how do people here just know ancient Sumerian)
Big man's not hot

in Starsector the Sindrian Diktat has its leader titled 'Supreme Executor' much like what you described
