No, "calico" is not an eponym. The term refers to a type of fabric that is typically printed with colorful patterns, originally made from cotton. Its name is derived from Calicut, a city in India, where the fabric was first produced, but it does not reference a person. Eponyms are words derived from the names of individuals, while "calico" is rooted in a place name.
