"Notorisch" is commonly used to describe someone or something that has a bad reputation or is famously known for specific negative behavior.
Similar words in German include "berüchtigt" (infamous), "übelbekannt" (ill-known), and "angesehen" (well-known in a positive light). The key difference is that "notorisch" and "berüchtigt" generally have negative connotations, while "angesehen" is neutral or positive.
