Happy New Year everyone! I thought of a new word game that will challenge us all and wanted to invite you to joiin me in finding some Aaphabetical eponyms.
“An eponym is a person or thing, whether real or fictional, after which a particular place, tribe, era, discovery, or other item is named or thought to be named. For example, Léon Theremin is the eponym of the theremin; Louis Braille is the eponym of the Braille word system created by him for use by the blind. Eponyms are aspects of etymology.
A synonym of "eponym" is namegiver (not to be confused with namesake.)”

In this word game we get a chance to show what we know about popular culture, science, history, geography and all the aspects of human life. The only rule is that we do it alphabetically.
I’ll start:
Avogadro’s number
