Good question. Here's what I found.
eponym
n 1: the name of a person for whom something is supposedly named; "Constantine I is the eponym for Constantinople" 2: a name derived from the name of person (real or imaginary) as the name of Alexandria is derived from the name of its founder: Alexander the Great
