namesake and namedAfter

When Freebase was around, we had a really cool property called
*'Namesake' *introduced
by a awesome Aussie lass who no longer works for Google.

The month of July <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q121> is named after Julius
Caesar <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1048>.
The Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q736627> is named after Pierre Trudeau
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8619>

In Wikidata they have *'named after' *also known as an eponym or toponym,
etc.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P138

Do we have any property closely resembling *named after* or *named for* or
*eponym* ?

If we don't, we need it, please.

Ithis sit right at our Thing level with a simple property called 'named
after'.

To avoid Developer headache, I would like to see a simple property that can
expect either a Text string....or a new proposed type called 'Etymology'
which would have various properties of its own, and lead into helping those
that had previous discussions on the mailing list and old proposal pages
about Dictionaries forming from Schema.org and vice versa.
