widely known for something bad

Well known by many people in a bad or negative way.

वापर नमुना: [someone]/[something] is notorious for [something/doing something]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners often confuse 'notorious' with 'famous'. Both mean 'well known', but 'notorious' is almost always negative, used for bad behavior, crime, scandals, or very unpleasant qualities. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is correct to say 'notorious for something', not 'notorious of something' or 'notorious about something'.
समानार्थी शब्द
infamous (Very close in meaning, but can sound slightly more formal or dramatic.) | disreputable (Focuses more on having a bad reputation rather than simply being widely known.) | ill‑famed (Less common and slightly literary; very similar meaning but not frequent in everyday speech.) | noted (for) (Often neutral or positive; can be negative in some contexts, so it does not always carry the strong negative feeling of 'notorious'.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
respected (Known and thought of in a good or honorable way, the opposite of being known for bad things.) | admired (Widely known and looked up to, not known for something bad.)
