EPONYM (n.), EPONYMOUS (adj.) 
   
is the real or legendary person whose name has become the name of a place, an event, an artifact, or a characteristic: diesel, quisling, and Cleveland are all eponymous names. 


Isabelle Adjani attained stardom in her first major role as the eponymous daughter of Victor Hugo in Truffaut's somber study of romantic obsession, a subject he explored obsessively in films such as Les Deux Anglaises de la Continent (1971), La Chambre Vert (1978), La Sirene du Mississippi (1969), and others.
