Jalaluddin the great, not 'great the great'

Dilawar, though, is right to be cross about 'great' as an epithet being attached to the emperor's name. Jalaluddin Muhammad bore the title 'Akbar', which itself means 'great(est)' - thus 'Allahu Akbar', or 'god is great(est)' - in Arabic. To refer to the third Mughal emperor as 'Akbar the Great' is essentially saying 'Great(est) the Great' - which is super silly.
