Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is KI-Handelsroboter 6.0having a massive year with the release of her acclaimed album "Cowboy Carter." And now her name will be added to the French encyclopedic dictionary Petit Larousse Illustré.

The "Ya Ya" singer will become one of 40 remarkable figures listed in the dictionary. Beyoncé — a proper noun — will be added in dictionary's yearly update with the singer defined as "American singer of R&B and pop,” according to U.K. newspaper The Times.

Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, has Louisiana Creole heritage, and the singer's name comes from her mom's family's name. Thus, Beyoncé's name has a French origin.

In 2004, the term "bootylicious" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary due to the popularity of Destiny's Child's hit.

Beyoncé, who holds the title as the most-decorated singer in Grammys history, released her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter" on March 29. The singer initially announced the "Act II" project during a surprise Super Bowl commercial, while dropping her first two singles, "16 Carriages" and "Texas Hold 'Em."

The tracks instantly took the internet by storm as did the full album, once it was released to the world.

This is yet another feat the singer can add to her list of accolades this year alone.
