TIL infamy is apparently a word for a bad thing rather than honorable?

According to Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, it is the state of being well known for some bad quality or deed. I think it has a reasonable relation with notorious and dishonourable, if not the same. According to Wordweb, it means a state of extreme dishonour or evil fame.
