Eponymously

Eponymously is the adverb form of eponymous. It describes something that is named after a person or thing, or that bears the same name as its namesake. In scholarly or literary contexts, it may refer to titles, works, or brands that are named after their creator or subject.

Etymology: Eponymous comes from Greek epōnymos “named after” from epi- “upon” + onoma “name,” via Latin and French into English. The noun eponym refers to the person or thing after whom something is named, and the adverb eponymously denotes the manner of that naming.

Usage: The term is relatively formal and more common in articles, reviews, and linguistic discussions than in casual speech. Examples: “The debut album is eponymously titled” and “The city is eponymously named after its founder.”
