 an·ton·o·ma·sia /ˌæntənoˈmeʒ(i)ə, (ˌ)ænˌtɑnə-/
 換稱

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 An·to·no·ma·si·a n.  Rhet. The use of some epithet or the name of some office, dignity, or the like, instead of the proper name of the person; as when his majesty is used for a king, or when, instead of Aristotle, we say, the philosopher; or, conversely, the use of a proper name instead of an appellative, as when a wise man is called a Solomon, or an eminent orator a Cicero.
