Eponyms
An eponym is a word that comes from a person’s name. Here are some examples of eponyms.
Charles Boycott was an Irishman who refused to lower the rents in his buildings. He was greedy and not very
nice. As a result, people were very angry with him and they refused to talk to him. The word boycott now means
to avoid a person or a company. It also means to refuse to buy certain products in protest.
Julius Leotard was a French gymnast who lived in the 19th
century. He always wore a garment that was very tightfitting when
he performed. Today all gymnasts wear leotards.
John Montague, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, was a man who
loved to play card games. He did not like to be interrupted. He
wanted food that he could eat at the table where he played games.
He invented a snack which was easy to hold and easy to
eat—the sandwich!
In the regiment of the Earl of Cardigan, the soldiers had to
wear sweaters or jackets that fastened up the front. People then
began to call this type of sweater a cardigan. Today many people have at least one cardigan in their
wardrobe.
