Generally, it is tied to level,..but thats not a set in stone system. If a lvl 2 Fighter figures out how to stop a portal from spewing demons and finishes the rest off...people will know what he's done. Conversely, a wizard who has spent the last 70 years locked away in a remote tower researching and practicing new and rare spells...he's likely to be known or known of by the most worldly of wizards....but probably not your average commoner or duke.
