One who is referred to as eponymous is someone that gives their name to something. i.e. the name of a car manufacturer or sports team, Ford, Ferrari or Brawn (F1)
An eponym is a word that originates from a person. e.g. Victorian, originating from Queen Victoria.
When an eponym is used as a new word in the language, it becomes a neologism.
