It's the name of a type of dinosaur, which in English is just called by its latin name, tyranosaurus rex - often abbreviated as T. rex.

The name is actually derived from three distinct words: tyranno = tyrant, saurus = lizard, and rex = king. This would make tyrannosaurus rex a "tyrant lizard king".

Brontosaurus means "thunder lizard." It comes from ancient Greek. However, Brontosaurus is an invalid name for Apatosaurus excelsus.
