Eponym (disambiguation)

Last updated March 30, 2019

An eponym is a name that originates from that of some person (real or fictional). "Eponymous" is often used to mean "self-titled."

An eponym is a person, place, or thing after whom or after which something is named, or believed to be named. The adjectives derived from eponym include eponymous and eponymic. For example, Elizabeth I of England is the eponym of the Elizabethan era, and "the eponymous founder of the Ford Motor Company" refers to Henry Ford. Recent usage, especially in the recorded-music industry, also allows eponymous to mean "named after its central character or creator".

"Eponymous" may also refer to:
