Places, organizations and things named after people.
Who is your city or town, village or tribe named after? Or how about the company you work for, or the consumer product that you just bought at the store get its name? Have you ever wondered where a scientific discovery got its name? We often name our cities, towns, rivers, mountain rangers, airports, and universities after a prominent person in history as a way of memorializing them. Additionally objects sometimes take on the name of their inventor or advocate. For example the French revolution's method of execution "the Guillotine" is named after Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin (1738-1780).
This project purpose is to list the geni.com profiles that became "namesakes".
