An eponym is a word or name derived from the name of a person, often used to describe a concept, object, or phenomenon associated with that individual. Common examples include "sandwich," named after the Earl of Sandwich, and "Morse Code," named after Samuel Morse. Eponyms can also refer to people whose names are used in various fields, such as medicine or literature, to honor their contributions.
