Best Answer

"Eponymously named" means something was given the same name as the person choosing the name. (Example: David Sloane decided to eponymously name his clothing line "Sloane's Slacks."

While it is not the proper or traditional definition, sometimes "eponymously named" is used to just mean something is named after something else. (Example: David Sloane eponymously named his store "John's Clothing" after his beloved grandfather, fashion designer John Sloane.")

An eponym is the name of a person, whether real or fictitious, after which a particular place, tribe, era, discovery, or other item is named or thought to be named. One who is referred to as eponymous is someone who gives his or her name to something, e.g., Julian, the eponymous owner of the famous restaurant Julian's Castle. A common nonstandard usage is that something eponymous is named after a particular person, e.g., Julian's eponymous restaurant.
