He was named after his grandfather.
... Oh. The "Terrible" part? Well, he was pretty terrible, in the sense of "inspiring terror"; he was the first Russian ruler to claim the title "Tsar of All the Russias", and it's speculated that he was mentally ill.
The first Russian ruler to take the title of tsar was Ivan IV, commonly known as Ivan the Terrible. He was officially crowned Tsar of All Rus' in 1547, marking the beginning of the Tsardom of Russia. This title signified a shift in the authority and status of the Russian ruler, establishing a legacy that would influence future monarchs.
Turns out, his dad died at when he was 3. Mom couldn't take care of him. Boyars took care of him. He hated the boyars and became mentally terrible. The only thing he liked was reading.
Ivan 'Grozny' was the first Russian ruler to take the title Czar (from Caesar). Ivan was only 3 years old when his father died in 1533. He was able to dictate the terms of his reinstatement and gain almost absolute power.
Ivan the Terrible's mother, Elena Glinskaya, effectively took control of Russia as regent after the death of her husband, Grand Prince Vasily III, in 1533. Ivan was only three years old at the time, and Elena acted to protect her son's interests against the powerful boyar families vying for influence. Her regency was marked by efforts to consolidate power and stabilize the realm during Ivan's early years, before he eventually took full control as tsar. Elena's leadership helped lay the groundwork for Ivan's later reign, despite the tumultuous political landscape.
All the answers below are inaccurate. Ivan the Terrible was called that for his reputation as being a cunning and formidable military leader. This title was given to him at an early age after the conquest of a powerful and important Tartar city in which he successfully mined under the city walls and used gun powder to breach them. He was able to vanquish an army far larger than his during that campaign. "Terrible" was meant as an acknowledgment of his military prowess rather than for any cruel or sadistic deeds he may have done. The irony is he did gradually become terrible as he got older but this was brought on by slow mercury poisoning that was in the medication he took for his chronic and painfully debilitating arthritis. Ivan the Terrible was named Grand Prince of Moscow in 1533 and the crowned Czar in 1547. His rule went from 1533-1580. Ivan the Terrible often had fits of rage in his younger age due to the fear of being murdered by thoses wanting to take the throne. This often led to the paranoia he would later develop. He's called terrible due to the fact that he had a certain lust for power. He reduced the power of boyars greatly, and peasants weren't treated any nicer. He created a secret police which would cause terror in the country. He also was said to have beaten his pregnant daughter-in-law, causing a miscarriage. His son, also called Ivan, got into a heated argument, which led to his father taking his pointed staff and striking him with it on November 16, 1581. This blow proved fatal, leaving Ivan the terrible devastated but not enough to stray from his path to absolute power.
