- The opposite of namesake (the person, place or thing someone else is named after) may be eponym. I am not certain whether this word refers only to the person after which institutions and things or named, or if it can also apply to people after which people are named. Would anyone care to verify this?
The above is a question from an anon, I moved it here. Pakaran (ark a pan) 18:35, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Limited Definition
The AHD says: "a person or thing named after another."
The OED says: "a person or thing having the same name as another."
The article was incorrect in that it limited the whole thing onesidedly. Guernseykid 04:07, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
