Its possible that there can be more than one Sternritter with the same epithet, but just possess a different version of the ability. There are 2 main instances in the manga that support this theory. The first and probably the greatest example of this being that there are two Sternritter Y's who both possess the ability "the Yourself" but have different versions of it with one copying a person's abilities and appearance and the other copying a person's memories and appearance. The second instance we see is with Uryu Ishida and Yhwach both of whom possess the epithet for A. Keep in mind however, this does not mean that there could be like 21 sternritter's with the same epithet that would be just silly. The epithets apply to members of the sternritter who already possessed a latent form of this ability, which was strengthened by receiving a part of Yhwach's soul.
