What does the word Magna mean, as in Magna Carta?

Asked by DaphneT (5750points) January 26th, 2013

Can anyone help me? I don’t have a good sense of this word. What does it derive from? What does it mean in the title Nestleton Magna? This happens to be a book title. Why would the word ‘magna’ have been used in such a fashion?
