History of the world is made by people. People stay here for a brief period of time. Some people leave their names behind. Probably the oldest of them all is Adam as in Adam's apple.
There are many terms which include the names of people who were associated with that either in a positive or negative way.
English words named after people are called Eponyms. The famous examples are
Boycott (after Charles Boycott)
Sandwich(after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who invented it)
Decibel(after Alexander Graham bell)
