Which term was added to differentiate him from his great-grandfather?

  • "the Younger"

Answer

"The Younger" was added to differentiate him from his great-grandfather. This is a common practice when someone shares the same name as an ancestor, to avoid confusion and distinguish between individuals with the same name in a family lineage. It ensures clear identification and helps maintain accurate records and family history.
