Namesake

Namesake is a term used to characterize a person, place, thing, quality, action, state, or idea that has the same, or a similar, name to another - especially (but not exclusively) if the person or thing is actually named after another, rather than merely sharing the name of another.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=namesake&submit.x=54&submit.y=35 )
For example, if a person, place, or thing has the same name as another - especially if they are named after another person, place, or thing, then the one that is named after the other, i.e., the recipient of the naming, is said to be the namesake of the name source. However, usage can go in the other direction, too, with the namesake referring to the source: Merriam-Webster defines it as: "one that has the same name as another; especially : one who is named after another or for whom another is named".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Namesake )
The earliest use reported in the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' was in 1635. Dictionaries suggest that the word probably comes from "name's sake", "for one's name('s) sake", for "name sake".
==History==
The term ''namesake'' was first recorded in 1635, referring to a place with the same name as another.〔 Among other recordings, a 1646 usage was carried through in an 1806 publication, entitled ''A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary, and Expositor of the English Language''. Modern-day usage has expanded to several uses for the term.〔"Namesake." ''(Dictionary.com )'' Online Dictionary. 2008. Retrieved: August 12, 2008.〕
