This isn't about making a decision about whether one likes or dislikes someone based on the fact that they're "epic".
Such figures would of course have great deeds and/or status associated with their names. These deeds do not occur in vacuum, and many, if not most, of them would make it easily into the public domain. They'd be spoken about by the townsfolk, rumor, myth and legend would spread throughout the population, whether they be adventurers or the multitude of thousands of inabitants of Layonara's various towns and cities that are not directly represented in-game but who are most certainly there all the same.
We're talking major deeds here, not the intricate details of these deeds, nor any of the private/personal things.
Edit: Also keep in mind that our characters have lives when we're not pulling their strings. They would have at the very least heard the names and at least one of these deeds just by being around others....whether or not we as players were present at the time. They wouldn't know the details, but they would know the names and at least one reason why that person is "epic".
