Standard kanji spelling using the repetition mark 々.
Variant spelling with the second 嘖 written out; less common than the 々 form.
A yojijukugo (four-character compound) combining 名声 (reputation, fame) and 嘖々 (a reduplicative word meaning 'clamorous' or 'noisy', describing the sound of many people talking). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the phrase paints a picture of fame so great that it is on everyone's lips.
