single word requests - Onomastics /Onomatology (personal names)

If what you mean to ask is if there is a special term for names of historical people/role models that have been taken as an inspiration for naming a child (and not as a nickname), then no, I don't believe there is.



N.B.: A 'protonym' is something entirely different, though, although I can see what you mean.
