Alexander the great got his name because he was one of the best generals in military history.
Alexander conquested nearly entire known ancient world. He occupied Persia, Egypt, Armenia, several Asian kingdoms and areas, he reached Indus.
Alexander has created so huge empire as nobody before him. This is reason to call him "Great".
Reality:
Alexander's empire was the same size as the Persian Empire, because Alexander simply took it over. It still got him The Great.
The appellation 'The Great' was given to very successful kings and commanders. Before Alexander there were the Persian kings Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great. After him were such Roman generals as Pompey the Great and Fabius Maximus (The Greatest').
