Dear Student,

We use no other than to emphasize the name of a person or thing when something about that person or thing is surprising in a particular situation.

Example-

He called together all his employees and announced that the manager was none other than his son.

No other but means only.

Example-

Non other but a dedicated scientist would want to read such a detailed report.

All the Best,
