Gibraltar the place is an eponym but its use in the word of the day makes it a toponym since the stronghold reference doesn't apply to the person but to the place.
Paris was named after the (Greek) hero but I doubt that something Parisien(ne) refers to him but rather to the city itself so Parisien(ne) to describe chic would also be a toponym.
Isn't that the same thing?
