The word magnus means "great" in Latin, being where we get the terms "magnification", "magnitude", and similar words relating to large size or figurative greatness. For example, Pompey the Great was called Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus. However, in fantasyland, it seems to mean "great mage." Most of the time you see a character named Magnus in a fantasy work, he is a mage, wizard, or something like that. It probably doesn't help that magus, the actual Latin word for "mage," is just one Rouge Angles of Satin away.
Magnus can also be an Awesome McCoolname, further justifying at least some of its uses. In Scandinavia, it's actually a fairly normal name.

The Adventure Zone: Balance: Inverted by Magnus Burnsides, who is far more of a physical fighter and the only member of the party to have absolutely no magical skill or spellcasting ability whatsoever. Although he did have enough skill during the Stolen Century to channel one-seventh of the Light of Creation into the Temporal Chalice through artificery, making this a Zig-Zagged Trope.
