Georg Ohm or James Watt (6)

I believe the answer is:

eponym

(Other definitions for eponym that I've seen before include "Derby is a well-known one" , "Name derived from title etc." , "Hero" , "handle from place?" , "Word or place name derived from person's name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
