Conferred a new nickname

What is "Conferred on" here?

A similiar word will help me a lot because I always can understand it as if has some meanings, don't worry if it will be hard for me to understand I'm doing efforts, thanks ...

"... praying it wouldn’t go to Obama’s head; his ego was robust enough already.
They even conferred on the senator a new nickname: “Black Jesus.”
