Support David (talk) 07:01, 16 January 2019 (UTC)- This really needs a more specific label, to indicate that it is only to be used for names with a very specific relationship. --Yair rand (talk) 00:49, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Why not use named after (P138)?--GZWDer (talk) 13:28, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Disagree I agree that named after (P138) is the correct concept here, and the only other thing you would need to do is place a qualifier of the language of the namesake. In the case of Ferrari, the meaning is "blacksmith" in the Italian language. The etymology is is "ferro" (iron). And that etymology could further be handled with derived from lexeme (P5191) as discussed on its proposal page. Thadguidry (talk) 18:55, 21 January 2019 (UTC)- Disagree per GZWDer. named after (P138) seem sperfectly cormulent to me. Circeus (talk) 00:51, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Oppose Use named after (P138)ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 10:43, 8 April 2019 (UTC)- Oppose agree use named after (P138) - Salgo60 (talk) 04:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Comment named after is a completely different concept, ex. in South Asia castes are linked to profession but not named after, in Europe different names may be linked to the same occupation and may change over centuries, although "named after" applies often it may not apply always.
