Question

eponymous Adjectives such as Elizabethan, Victorian, and Edwardian show how the names of certain British monarchs have become eponymous for particular time periods and styles. eponymous*

Accepted Answer

Of, relating to, or being the person for whom something is named. Things as different as a bird, a river, and a drug may be named to honor someone. The Canadian city of Vancouver was named after the explorer George Vancouver; the diesel engine was named for its inventor, Rudolph Diesel; Alzheimer's disease was named after the physician Alois Alzheimer; and so on. Common eponymous terms include Ohm's law, Parkinson's Law, and the Peter Principle. And if the Beatles' famous “white album” actually has a name, it's usually called “The Beatles,” which means that it's eponymous as well. Don't be surprised if eponymous turns out to be a hard word to use; lots of other people have discovered the same thing
