From the publisher
From the rear cover
The term eponym was created about a century ago. The word was coined from two Greek words, epi, 'on' or 'upon, ' and onama, 'a name.' But its broadened meaning, as dictionaries set it out, refers to the person for whom something is named. This dictionary includes a brief biography of the individual whose name became associated with an item or concept as well as information on how and when the name entered the language.
