Tsze-kung asked, saying, "On what ground did Kung-wan get that title of Wan?"Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
The Master said, "He was of an active nature and yet fond of learning, and he was not ashamed to ask and learn of his inferiors! On these grounds he has been styled Wan."
