An eponym is a person after whom a place, object, invention, or concept is named. In literature, it often refers to a character whose name is used to represent a particular trait or idea associated with them. For example, if a character named "Mr. Fortune" is known for their wealth, the name "Fortune" serves as an eponym that reflects their wealth.
