An eponym is a person (often mythological or historical) after whom something else is named. Understanding eponyms helps us see the connections between names and their origins—for example, the constellation Orion is named after a figure from Greek mythology, which is why NASA's spacecraft also carries that name.

L'eponimo (dal greco ἐπώνυμος, composto di ἐπί, «sopra», e ὄνομα, «nome») è un personaggio, sia esso reale o fittizio, che dà il suo nome a una città, un luogo geografico, una dinastia, un periodo storico, un movimento artistico, un oggetto o altro.
