What are “Eponyms” and “allusions”?

Answer 1

An eponym is the name of a person, whether real or fictitious, which has (or is thought to have) given rise to the name of a particular place, tribe, discovery or other item. An eponymous person is the person referred to by the eponym. In contemporary English, the term eponymous is often used to mean self-titled. The word eponym is often used for the thing titled.

Allusion is a stylistic device in which one references an object or circumstance that has occurred or existed in an external context. In the most traditional sense, allusion is a literary term regarding the use of previous texts, though the word also has come to encompass references to or from any source, including film, art, or real events.

Allusion is an economical device, drawing upon the wealth of ideas or emotion associated with a topic in a relatively short space. Thus, an allusion is understandable only to those with prior knowledge of the reference in question. (See Cultural literacy)

Allusion differs from the similar term intertextuality in that it is an intentional effort.

An eponym is a similar phenomenon where a real or fictional person's name is given to something.
