Eponymous (pronounced uh-pon-uh-muhs)
(1) The giving of one's name to something.
(2) Of, relating to, or being the person or entity after which
something or someone is named.
1833: The construct is eponym + -ous, from the Ancient Greek ἐπώνυμος (epṓnumos), the construct
being ἐπί (epí) (upon) + ὄνυμα (ónuma), a Doric
and Aeolic variant of ὄνομα (ónoma) (name). The
word seems first to have been used in the second millennium BC, when, for
several decades, the Assyrians named each year after a prominent government
official, the alternative form eponymal appearing first in the record in
reference to the other classical eponymos, a title of certain magistrates in
ancient Greece who gave their names to the years when they held office, a
practice later adopted by the English to record statute law. In England,
until 1953, the naming conventions for recording the bills parliament passed used
regnal years; a statute gazetted in the seventh year of the reign of George V
would have been dated 7 George V and were the system still in use, one passed
in 2021 would be sealed 69 Elizabeth II.
Widely used in English (the Victorian age, the Nixon doctrine, the
Menzies era etc), eponymic has been used in the sense "name-giving;
pertaining to eponymic myths" as well as "of or pertaining to a
classical eponymos." The Greek epṓnymos was derived from onyma (name) the root also of a number of
English words, including synonymous, pseudonym and anonymous.
Related form is the adverb eponymously.
