So I'm writing about a guy called Robert of Jerusalem. He's called "of Jerusalem" because he brought stuff back from Jerusalem. What are names/titles like "of Jerusalem" called? There's a term for it but I cannot remember it.

How about "epitheton"? It's really just another word for "epithet," but lacks, I think, the negative connotations of the latter.

Or "cognomen"?
