eponymous structures

Eponymous structures are names of features or objects that are derived from the person who discovered or first described them. For example, a mountain named after a scientist or a disease named after a doctor who identified it. These names honor the individual’s contribution and serve as a way to recognize their role in its discovery or study. Eponymous structures appear in various fields, like medicine, geography, and science, making it easier to reference and remember important discoveries or features associated with specific people.
