Can someone tell me one word for the phrase' worthy of pride' in English? One word synonym is required if we want to talk about a person who is taken as worthy to be proud of like the adjective 'admirable'.

Adjectives usually describe permanent qualities of people or things. It is strange to have a single word adjective for the meaning of "worthy to be proud" ...because it seems to be a more subjective and personal description of the person. I believe that other languages may have composite words like in Greek, but even in Greek there is not a single word for it.
