Mausolus (died 353/352 BCE) was a Persian satrap (governor), though virtually an independent ruler, of Caria, in southwestern Anatolia, from 377/376 to 353 BCE. He is best known from the name of his monumental tomb, the so-called Mausoleum—considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World—a word now used to designate any large and imposing burial structure.
Is there a name for this phenomenon? Like how “algorithm” is just the westernized spelling of of al-Khwarizmi or “guy” comes from Guy Fawkes.
Well, not him specifically, but the Latin word Caeser, pronounced like Kaiser, yes
…which comes from the name Caesar
Sure but… I’m pretty sure the word and title does come from him specifically
